Trevor Immelman predicts what will happen to Tommy Fleetwood as he contends at the Canadian Open
· Yahoo Sports
Trevor Immelman believes that Tommy Fleetwood is not far away from stringing a run of wins together with the Englishman going into the final round of the Canadian Open just two shots off the lead.
Fleetwood has had a curious PGA Tour career in many ways. Of course, many will remember the sense of relief at last year’s Tour Championship when the 35-year-old won Stateside for the very first time.

Plenty were expecting the floodgates to open for Fleetwood, who has been one of the world’s best players for several years now.
That has not quite been the case in 2026, however. Fleetwood is yet to win this year, though he has registered six top 10 finishes.
Tommy Fleetwood backed to reel off several wins in the near future
He was in the mix to win the Memorial Tournament last week before a late bogey took him out of the running at Muirfield Village.
Fleetwood has put himself in contention to win again this week at TPC Toronto. He goes into the final round at the Canadian Open two shots back of Jackson Suber with 18 holes to play.
And speaking on CBS Sports, Trevor Immelman suggested that Fleetwood really is not far away from reeling off a number of wins in quick succession.

“More than 50 per cent of his tournaments on the PGA Tour, he’s had a top 10. So he’s in the hunt all the time. Last week as well at Muirfield Village. He’s going to have another shot at it tomorrow. I just think the way he plays, I love his demeanour, I love the way he carries himself. I’m just a huge fan of him in general.
“And I feel like with all the opportunities that he’s given himself over the years, eventually he’s going to start closing these out, either through brilliant play down the stretch or by someone else making a mistake. And once he starts to rack up a few wins, I do think he’s going to get the hang of that and close out more and more tournaments.”
Why Tommy Fleetwood must be considered a favourite for the US Open
Tommy Fleetwood is going to be a favourite in the eyes of many heading into the US Open at Shinnecock Hills next week.
Admittedly, his major record is not outstanding given his talent. However, he does have plenty of reason to be optimistic as he prepares to head to Southampton.
Fleetwood came agonisingly close to posting the first ever round of 62 in the US Open the last time the event was held at Shinnecock back in 2018.
Ultimately, he finished second to Brooks Koepka.
Fleetwood has three top five finishes at the US Open, while he has four at the other three majors combined. So he is clearly well-suited to what is usually the game’s toughest test.
