HOPES HIGH HE CAN NICK IT

reckons he could have “a big chance” tomorrow.

Fleetwood, bidding to become the first English winner since Nick Faldo in 1992 (left), rocked the field after a disappointing opening day. On the chances of winning a Major, McIlroy said: “One hundred per cent Tommy can. He’s won a lot over the last couple of years.

“He had a great chance at the US Open. He’s been putting himself in the mix. The more you do that, the more experience you gain, and from there, it’s only a matter of time.”
