Fleetwood and Russell Henley did receive $1.76 million for their second-place tie.
The Englishman is still eyeing his first PGA Tour win.
While Fleetwood has 10 professional victories, all have been on the European Tour, Sunshine Tour, or Challenge Tour.
Fleetwood has 42 career top-10s without a win, as his best finishes at majors include finishing second at the 2018 US Open and the 2019 Open Championship.
His wife, Clare, has been by his side since the two got married in 2017.
She's also Fleetwood's manager.
Fleetwood will now shift his focus to the next major, which is the Open Championship, which is set for July 17-20 at Royal Portrush.
Xander Schauffele is the defending champion of the event.

Rishabh Pant reprimanded for umpire dissent during England Test
Rishabh Pant has been reprimanded for dissent towards the umpires during India 's first Test against England at Headingley. On the third day of the Test, during the 61st over of England's first innings, on-field umpires Paul Reiffel and Chris Gaffaney checked the shape of the ball with a ball gauge and opted not to change it. Frustrated at this decision, Pant threw the ball on the ground in front of the umpires and this was deemed to be dissent. That breached Article 2.8 of the ICC Code of Conduct, which relates to 'showing dissent at an umpire's decision during an international match' and the Indian wicketkeeper has now been handed an official reprimand , with one demerit point added to his previously unblemished disciplinary record. 'India's Rishabh Pant has been handed an official reprimand for breaching Level 1 of the ICC Code of Conduct during the third day of the first Test against England in Headingley on Sunday,' explained the ICC's official media release. 'Pant admitted the offence and accepted the sanction proposed by Richie Richardson of the Emirates ICC Elite Panel of Match Referees, so there was no need for a formal hearing 'On-field umpires Paul Reiffel and Chris Gaffaney, third umpire Sharfuddoula Ibne Shahid and fourth umpire Mike Burns levelled the charge. Level 1 breaches carry a minimum penalty of an official reprimand, a maximum penalty of 50 per cent of a player's match fee, and one or two demerit points.' Pant has performed brilliantly in the first Test, showing all of his maverick magic to make a century in each of India's innings – 134 in the first and 118 second time round. In typically spectacular fashion, he celebrated the former by doing an acrobatic front flip. That has helped set up a fascinating final day where England require 350 more runs to win, with 10 wickets still in hand. The demerit point Pant has received for his reprimand will stay on his disciplinary record for a period of 24 months, when it will be expunged. If a player reaches four or more demerit points within a 24-month period, they are converted into suspension points and a player is banned. Two suspension points equate to a ban from one Test or two ODIs or two T20Is, whatever comes first for the player.

Wimbledon set to unveil statue of Andy Murray in 2027
Andy Murray will be honoured by Wimbledon with a special statue at the All England Club in two years' time. Murray, who won the men's singles at Wimbledon amid joyous scenes in 2013 and 2016, retired from professional tennis last year after a fifth and final Olympic appearance. Fred Perry, the last British winner of the men's singles at Wimbledon prior to Murray, has a full-length statue outside Centre Court and Wimbledon chairperson Debbie Jevans confirmed plans are in place for Murray to receive a similar honour. The plan is for the statue to be unveiled in 2027, the 150th anniversary of The Championships. 'We looked at Rafa Nadal having that sort of plaque unveiled to him at Roland Garros which was all very special. We thought, what do we want for Andy?' Jevans told the Performance People podcast. 'We had a great celebration for Andy when he played his last match [in 2024], which was on Centre Court. 'And then when he came, when all the old players came, and they greeted him and Sue Barker interviewed him. So, we did a similar thing for him here last year but we are looking to have a statue of Andy Murray here and we're working closely with him and his team. 'And the ambition is that we would unveil that on the 150th anniversary of our first championships, which was 1877, so would be in 2027. 'It will be lovely and really special. So he's got to rightly be very involved in that and he and his team will be.' As well as Perry, past British champions such as Virginia Wade, Kitty Godfree, Dorothy Round, Angela Mortimer and Ann Jones have all been recognised with statues, plaques or busts around the All England Club. Murray, 38, is a three-Grand Slam champion, having won his first major at the 2012 US Open, a two-time Olympic gold medal winner and led Great Britain to the 2015 Davis Cup. He also reached world No 1 at the end of 2016 and has won the Sports Personality of the Year award a record three times. Wimbledon 2025 starts on Monday 30 June.
