Tommy Fleetwood on Ryder Cup loss: 'didn't perform as bad as what the scoreline suggested'

Tommy Fleetwood was part of Europe's historic 19-9 Ryder Cup loss last week, but the 30-year-old Englishman said the score wasn't indicative of how his side played at Whistling Straits.

"We sort of – we just – weren't that far away, but we were far away in the end," Fleetwood said after shooting 66 on Day 1 of the Alfred Dunhill Links Championship. "All the crucial moments sort of went the other way, and especially in my matches, as well. Obviously, I watched golf and I played it, and putts going the other way, you know, we missed a hole and it turns games on their heads.
