Tom’s fortune was fleeting

-

TOMMY Fleetwood was paid more than $200,000 in prizemoney from the British Open last month.

But it was not paid to the Tommy Fleetwood who played in the championsh­ip and finished equal 12th.

Instead, it was sent to a 58-yearold by the same name who caddies at the Streamsong Resort in Florida.

“I tried to get on (Europe’s) senior tour, so they have my (bank) informatio­n,” said the US caddie, who will refund the money.

Officials apologised for the error.
