Fleetwood’s French bliss

TOMMY FLEETWOOD will head to the Open Championship in the form of his life after claiming a second victory of the season in the French Open.

The 26-year-old from Southport carded a flawless final round of 66 at Le Golf National to finish 12 under par, a shot ahead of overnight joint-leader Peter Uihlein.

Fleetwood was a lowly 188th in the world last September, but will be a careerhigh 15th in today’s updated rankings.

He said: “It’s always great to test your game and what you work on every day under the ultimate pressure.”
