TV Interview

Q. It's a collective sigh of relief. This was the third time this season you've held the 54-hole lead on the PGA TOUR. You have admitted you didn't close it out in the past. What did you do differently today here at East Lake?

TOMMY FLEETWOOD: You just keep learning, don't you? I think this one, I guess there was Travelers, there was Memphis, obviously plenty before. This probably wasn't the most comfortable I've been here because, as they rack up, you obviously start to think of the things.

But I feel like I've had a great attitude throughout it all. I was a bit erratic today at times, and I was really proud of how I found my swing again on like the 11th hole, 12th hole. Changed my routine a little bit, and yeah -- still, when you've lost it so many times, three-shot lead down the last doesn't feel like that many.

Q. You told me Thursday you had dreamt about making the TOUR Championship, and therefore the FedExCup, your first PGA TOUR win. 164 starts, 30 top-5 finishes. How does the reality of this moment compare to the idea?

TOMMY FLEETWOOD: Well, I think I'm proud of what I've done before. Whether I've won or not, I've still been proud of my career so far, knowing that I still have a long way to go and lots of learning. This doesn't change that really. This is hopefully just one win, the first of many to come. You cannot win plenty if you don't win the first one.

I'm just happy that I got it done and happy with my work ethic, and I'll continue to try and get better and try to be the best I can be.

Q. You have one of the best attitudes on the PGA TOUR. You have a warm heart and a big smile and a huge fan following. Could you feel the energy around you?

TOMMY FLEETWOOD: Yeah, they're amazing. It makes me a bit emotional. I'm always lucky with the support that I get. I said this last month or so when I've been in contention, it's been amazing, and to get the support like that is just so special, and I never want to lose that.

I hope everybody knows how grateful I am for it, and I said we'll do it together, and I felt like we did today. So I'm really grateful for everybody that supported me and supported me through this.
