Tommy Fleetwood held his nerve to win the Tour Championship and finally claim a first PGA Tour title at the 164th time of asking.

Emotion poured out of the 34-year-old Englishman after he holed the winning putt on the 18th green, saluting a crowd who chanted “Tommy, Tommy, Tommy” by raising both arms before letting out a huge roar.

And his European Ryder Cup team-mate Justin Rose was greenside to film the celebrations on his phone.

As well as securing a $10m (£7.4m) first prize, Fleetwood shakes off the unwanted tag of being the nearly man on the American-based circuit.

He secured the victory with an assuredness that will give European golf fans a huge boost with next month’s Ryder Cup in New York looming large on the horizon.

Fleetwood, who was joint leader heading into Sunday, never trailed and overcame a slight wobble midway through his round as he repelled challenges from defending champion Scottie Scheffler and former winner Patrick Cantlay to win by three shots on 18 under par.
