Tommy Fleetwood 在旅行者錦標賽第 72 洞慘遭逆轉,夢碎美巡首冠|美巡賽

Yahoo24-06-2025
想在 PGA 巡迴賽上奪冠,絕非易事,問問 Tommy Fleetwood 就知道了。
這位 34 歲的英國選手擁有巡迴賽上最流暢自如的揮桿動作之一,那獨特縮短的收桿動作看起來極具美感,令人難以想像他會打出壞球。
儘管 Fleetwood 在國際賽事中贏得過八場冠軍,但他始終未能在PGA 巡迴賽奪冠。並非沒有接近過,他在 PGA 巡迴賽上已累積了41次前十名成績,這是近 40 年來,最多次進入前十卻始終未能奪冠的選手紀錄。
對 Fleetwood 而言,問題不在於「是否能奪冠」,而是「何時能贏」。而這個關鍵時刻,原本看似就在今天,卻最終在戲劇性的第 72 洞崩毀收場。
Fleetwood 帶著三桿領先優勢進入決賽輪,這是他職業生涯中第二次在 54 洞後取得領先。然而比賽一開始他就狀態不穩,前四洞吞下三個柏忌,其中包括兩次三推。
他在開局六洞中僅擊中兩個球道,開球表現也不理想。
來到第九洞時,他的領先優勢在 Keegan Bradley 推進一記 64 呎超長距離小鳥推之後徹底消失。
雖然 Fleetwood 稍後逐漸回穩,在第 11 洞(標準桿 3 桿洞)抓下小鳥,再次取得對 Bradley 的兩桿領先。
然而,第 16 洞的柏忌讓他只剩一桿領先。第 17 洞他開球落入沙坑,但展現沉著,在果嶺邊擊出漂亮一桿、球停在旗桿旁,隨後穩穩地推進,帶著一桿優勢進入最終洞。
然而命運並不站在他這邊,在第 18 洞開球前,Fleetwood 做了臨時換桿的決定,結果導致擊球偏短偏左,球停在離洞口 50 呎外的草地邊,給了 Bradley 絕佳機會,Bradley 沒錯過,從球道上精準攻果嶺,球停在僅五呎距離處。
Fleetwood 的長推未能靠近洞口,甚至還在 Bradley 的球之外,讓他必須先推,結果他沒推進,而 Bradley 則根據這條路線,一推入洞,逆轉奪冠,直接從 Fleetwood 手中搶下旅行者錦標賽冠軍。
Fleetwood 最終與 Russell Henley 並列第二,再度與冠軍擦肩,也將他在 PGA 巡迴賽「無冠卻前十」的紀錄推進到第 42 次。心碎,仍在繼續。

2025 BMW Championship: Scottie Scheffler, Rory McIlroy headline opening pairings

The BMW Championship gets going on Thursday and we now know who is going to be playing with who when all of the action gets underway. The PGA Tour announced opening pairings for the Tour's next playoff event and the headliner is right in the middle of the graphic. You are not misreading. Golf fans will be treated to a pairing of Scottie Scheffler and Rory McIlroy, the two best golfers in the world and winners of three of this season's majors between them, for at the very least the opening two rounds. Obviously there are a lot of factors between now and then, but we could be looking at two players who could be sharing the course in a month at the Ryder Cup as well. Part of what is awesome about the FedExCup Playoffs is seeing pairings like this. Fans want to be treated to battles of the very best and getting a Scheffler/McIlroy combo for two guaranteed days is a huge win. It was low-hanging fruit to say the least, but kudos to whoever made this happen.

Golf is not like team sports. It was never meant to have a finish line to the season

OWINGS MILLS, Md. (AP) — Instead of outrage and grave concern that Rory McIlroy chose to sit out the first FedEx Cup playoff event — without dropping a single spot in the rankings — let it be a reminder that golf is not like other sports. These are not the 'playoffs.' That's for team sports. This is golf, which has never had a defining finish to its year and never will. The FedEx Cup attempted to create a finish line until the tour tried to promote it as so much more. What it did was create an incentive for the best players to compete after the majors were over. That part has worked beautifully, and it still does, with or without McIlroy. Perhaps one reason McIlroy's absence got so much attention was no one had skipped a postseason event (barring injury) since Webb Simpson five years ago. Simpson pulled out of the BMW Championship at No. 3 in the FedEx Cup, saying he wanted to be fresh for the FedEx Cup finale at East Lake. McIlroy had said in June he has earned the right to do whatever he wants, and that includes skipping a $20 million tournament (for the third time this year), and sitting out the first round of what the PGA Tour calls its 'playoffs.' He remains at No. 2. But he certainly wasn't the first to do that. Tiger Woods was a no-show for the first playoff event in 2007, and he still went on to win the FedEx Cup. Phil Mickelson skipped the BMW Championship that year when it was the third of four postseason events. Sergio Garcia? He missed seven postseason events when he was eligible (and presumably healthy), one year taking time off in Switzerland and Spain because he wanted a break. McIlroy finished up nine holes of practice at Caves Valley on Monday afternoon as some of the players who advanced to the second stage were still on their way to the BMW Championship after a steamy week in Memphis, Tennessee. Given the heat, he's probably fresher than most. He first raised the question last year when he was No. 3 in the FedEx Cup, finished next-to-last in Memphis and wondered what he was doing there. He only dropped to No. 5. It changed nothing. So it was no surprise McIlroy sat this one out. Scottie Scheffler could have easily done the same. The TPC Southwind is where he last missed a cut (in 2022, when the postseason opener had 125-man field and a 36-hole cut). The FedEx St. Jude Classic also gave him a sponsor exemption when he was 17, and he has never missed it as a PGA Tour member. His choice. But playoffs? Jim Mora and his infamous 'Playoffs?' interview comes to mind this time of the year. The FedEx Cup might be a lot easier to understand — and appreciate — if the PGA Tour had just stuck to the right language when this season-ending bonanza first was unveiled. It was at East Lake in 2006 during the Tour Championship — remember, that was the year Woods and Mickelson both decided to skip the PGA Tour's finale — when former Commissioner Tim Finchem laid out the details of the FedEx Cup. He said golf was the only major sport where the regular season was more compelling than the finish (he apparently didn't think much of tennis). And so Finchem introduced a concept referred to as a championship series of four tournaments. He used that phrase — 'championship series' — 20 times in a lengthy news conference. The eight times he mentioned 'playoffs' was comparison with other sports, and how the championship series would be 'our version of the playoff system." And then some marketing genius leaned on 'playoffs,' the word was painted onto a grassy hill at Westchester Country Club, the term stuck and it still doesn't make sense. That especially was the case when it began with 144 players, leading Jim Furyk to do the math. 'In football, there's 32 teams in the NFL and if I'm correct, 12 teams go to the playoffs,' he said in 2007. 'This year, 125 guys also keep their tour card and 144 people are going to the Playoffs. So that's roughly 110% of the league.' Golf is not like other sports. The concept is fine. The PGA Tour's version of the playoffs is working because it provides three weeks of its best players competing for a trophy that is slowly gaining in stature. It's not one of the four majors. It's probably still a notch below The Players Championship. The PGA Tour has tweaked the format five times, seeking a solution that doesn't exist. The most recent format — 'starting strokes' — was the most controversial, with the No. 1 player starting at 10-under par before the Tour Championship began. Not even Scheffler liked that. But it at least rewarded the players who performed the best throughout the year. Now the 30 players who emerge from the BMW Championship this week will all start from scratch at East Lake, and the low score wins. The 'season-long champion" could be someone who wins for the first time all year. How is the FedEx Cup trophy any different from the old Tour Championship trophy? The money is better. And unlike the last Tour Championship before the FedEx Cup began, at least everyone will show up. ___ On The Fringe analyzes the biggest topics in golf during the season. ___ AP golf:

加利殊出「城」外借愛華頓著18號

LONDON, ENGLAND - MAY 17: Jack Grealish of Manchester City after his sides 1-0 defeat during the Emirates FA Cup Final match between Crystal Palace and Manchester City at Wembley Stadium on May 17, 2025 in London, England. (Photo by) 【Now Sports】曼城失寵戰將加利殊,於周二落實在新一個賽季以借用形式加盟愛華頓,他為「脫苦海」顯得興奮不已。「我為簽約加盟愛華頓感到無比興奮,說實的,這是一間出色的球會,球迷無與倫比。」加利殊(Jack Grealish)落實在2025/26年球季加盟拖肥後說。29歲的加利殊於2021年從阿士當維拉入「城」,惟發展未如理想,去季未能得到領隊哥迪奧拿信任,僅曾在英超正選出賽7次。 他在今夏的世界冠軍球會盃並未奉召入參賽大軍,顯見哥迪奧拿並不重視他。 加利殊在新東家將會穿上18號球衣,此舉是為了向朗尼及加斯居尼致敬:「我最喜愛的英格蘭球員是朗尼及加斯居尼,我知他倆在這兒都穿18號。我來投之前與朗尼交談,我對他說18號的事,我希望他也為此而高興。」
