Stunning Tommy Fleetwood stat makes Travelers loss even worse
The post Stunning Tommy Fleetwood stat makes Travelers loss even worse appeared first on ClutchPoints.
Tommy Fleetwood stepped onto the 18th tee at the Travelers Championship with a one-shot lead over Keegan Bradley. With no wins in his 158 PGA Tour starts entering the week, it looked like the Englishman was going to get the monkey off his back. But a phenomenal shot from Bradley and a brutal three-putt from Fleetwood changed everything. After his Travelers loss, Fleetwood made some brutal history.

'Tommy Fleetwood: 42nd top-10 finish on PGA Tour; most by any player without a win last 40 years,' Justin Ray of the TwentyFirst Group posted on social media.
Fleetwood changed his club before hitting his approach on the 18th hole. That classic sign of overthinking was all Bradley needed to see to pounce on his competitor. The Ryder Cup captain stuck his approach to less than six feet and put all of the pressure on Fleetwood. His first putt was just outside of Bradley's approach, giving his competitor a perfect read. When Fleetwood missed the second putt, Bradley kicked the door down. From a three-shot lead to losing in regulation, it was over for Fleetwood.
In his long PGA Tour career, Fleetwood has lost in playoffs, blown leads early in rounds, and now suffered from a brutal 72nd hole collapse. When speaking with the media afterward, he explained his feelings after the loss.
'I'm upset now, I'm angry,' Fleetwood said, per the PGA Tour's social media page. 'When it calms down, look at the things I did well and look at the things I can learn from…[I] felt like I did a lot of good things, but there are things I can definitely do better and have to do better.'

Just last week, Fleetwood missed the cut at the US Open. While this is a marked improvement from that tough result, he does not get that elusive win on American soil. Bradley, meanwhile, picks up his second Travelers win in three years.

Mets demote second former top prospect in two days
For the second straight day, the New York Mets have demoted a former top prospect to the minor leagues. The Mets optioned infielder Luisangel Acuna to Triple-A Syracuse on Monday. The younger brother of Atlanta Braves star Ronald Acuna Jr. has started just five times over the last month due to offensive struggles, collecting only 18 at-bats in June. Advertisement Luisangel Acuna was slashing .308/.357/.385 through April with five doubles, but his numbers dropped dramatically in May when he hit .204/.254/.222. June brought more struggles at .167/.211/.167. Overall this season, Acuna carries a .241/.293/.283 line with no home runs and a poor 68 OPS+ — meaning he was 32% worse than the league average hitter. The Mets called up veteran outfielder Travis Jankowski to fill his roster spot. Acuna joins catcher Francisco Alvarez in Syracuse after Alvarez was sent down Sunday before the Mets' series finale against the Philadelphia Phillies. Alvarez has struggled at the plate all season, hitting .236/.319/.333 with just three home runs and 38 strikeouts in 35 games. He fractured the hamate bone in his left hand during spring training and didn't make his season debut until April 25. Advertisement Just two seasons ago, Alvarez hit 25 home runs. The Mets hope to get both players back on track offensively as they are part of the young core the team will need to rely on later this season and potentially in the playoffs. Related Headlines

Breaking: Man United finally make a concrete move for £50m EPL star Thierry Henry ‘loves watching
Manchester United have reportedly enquired about the availability of Chelsea striker Christopher Nkunku. The Red Devils are keen to sign a new centre-forward who will spearhead the club's charge to redemption starting next season. Advertisement Rasmus Hojlund was a major letdown this term, only netting four times in the Premier League. Nevertheless, the Dane still has suitors in Serie A, and chief among them are Inter Milan. With the 22-year-old possibly out of the door, INEOS will be looking to add a more clinical striker up front. In recent months, they have been linked with a plethora of possible candidates, including Liam Delap (who already signed for Chelsea), Viktor Gyokeres, Victor Osimhen, Benjamin Sesko, Dusan Vlahovic and Hugo Ekitike. And yet, new names continue to emerge onto the scene, as L'Equipe journalist Loic Tanzi reveals Man United's interest in Nkunku. Man United enquire about Christopher Nkunku The source reveals that the Red Devils have made initial contact with the player's entourage as they begin assembling information on the versatile attacker. Advertisement Tanzi adds that United have yet to submit an official offer, but they intend to sign at least two more forwards before the end of the summer, and one of them should be Brentford winger Bryan Mbeumo. While it remains to be seen if the Reds will launch an onslaught for Nkunku, the report insists that the Frenchman is hellbent on leaving Chelsea this summer. The PSG youth product sealed a £50 million transfer to Stamford Bridge in the summer of 2023, but he has yet to establish himself as a regular starter, despite receiving occasional praise from his manager, Enzo Marseca, as well as his legendary compatriot, Thierry Henry, who identified him as a player he 'loves watching'. Where would Nkunku fit in Amorim's formation (Photo by) Advertisement This season, Nkunku made 43 appearances across all competitions, contributing with 14 goals and five assists. The France international is a highly versatile player, capable of playing as a centre-forward, winger or attacking midfielder. Given that Man Utd have already signed Matheus Cunha for the No.10 role, and Mbeumo could soon follow suit, Nkunku would probably play as a striker in Ruben Amorim's 3-4-2-1 system.
