Tommy Fleetwood recently took to X to appreciate his fellow European golfers, Rory McIlroy and Justin Rose, for their brilliant performance at the 2025 Masters. The former himself finished T21 at the iconic tournament last week. Justin Rose had been leading the standings in the initial two rounds at Augusta National.
However, Rory McIlroy took the lead after Round 3. Towards the end of McIlroy's round on Sunday, he had a clear shot to victory. However, a bogey in the final round forced him into a playoff with Rose, where he prevailed, 3-4.
With the win, the Northern Irishman completed his career grand slam and finally ended his decade-long Major title drought. Both, McIlroy and Rose, performed exceptionally well throughout the Masters last week. Tommy Fleetwood appreciated the former's resilience and called Rose his "golfing idol".
Fleetwood further thanked his supporters and bid adieu to the thrilling week at Augusta National. The British golfer posted a picture of himself, McIlroy, and Shane Lowry posing at the iconic golf club with their families during the Par 3 contest. Fleetwood will next be seen at the RBC Heritage this week.
The tournament will be held at the Harbour Town Golf Links in Hilton Head, South Carolina from April 17th to 20th, 2025. Later in the year, the ace golfer might reunite with McIlroy and Rose to defend the European title at the Ryder Cup in September at Bethpage Black, New York. Tommy Fleetwood started his campaign at the Masters on a dismal note.
He finished his opening round at 73 after two birdies and three bogeys. The top star made a massive improvement in the second round as he posted an impressive 69 with four birdies and one bogey. His form dipped again in Round 3 after he carded 75 following two birdies and five bogeys.
His final day at Augusta National saw another turnaround as he closed the round at 69 with six birdies and three bogeys. Fleetwood earned $210,000 for his T21 finish at the 2025 Masters.
