FARMINGDALE, N.Y. _ When we last saw Tommy Fleetwood in a major on Long Island, he was shooting a 63 on Sunday to finish second to Brooks Koepka in last year's U.S. Open at Shinnecock.
Now back on the Island for the PGA Championship at Bethpage Black, Fleetwood again finds himself in Koepka's wake, though it's only the first round. Fleetwood posted a three-under-par 67 to trail Koepka by four shots.
Fleetwood made eight birdies and a lone bogey at Shinnecock Hills to tie players like Jack Nicklaus and Johnny Miller for the lowest score ever in the national championship. He had three good birdie looks on the final three holes that could have yielded him the all-time low score in an Open.
