Tommy Fleetwood says he ‘feels bad’ about himself after spending time with other athletes at the Olympics Village
Among the top-tier PGA names, Tommy Fleetwood is one of the golfers selected for the Paris Olympics. Before heading to the Olympics, Fleetwood missed the cut at the Open Championship, which was won by Xander Schauffele. In the rest of the Majors, Tommy Fleetwood had T3 at the Masters.
Tommy Fleetwood finished at T16 at the US Open and T26 at the PGA Championship. Currently, the PGA golfer is focused on the Paris Olympics, and before the match started, he spent time with other athletes from different sports at the Olympics.
In an interview, Fleetwood was asked whether he picked up any trait or quality from them. In reply to that, he elaborated on his insights.
“Just look at most of them and feel bad about myself…your question pick up something from everyone. I think the main thing is the passion that everybody has for their chosen field and their sport,” Tommy Fleetwood said (via ASAP Sports).
“There's always something that you're going to pick up. There's so many similarities to it in terms of the psychology of what we all do, but I think there's always something that you can pick up, and just getting the chance to talk to them is amazing," he continued.
Tommy Fleetwood will be joined by Scottie Scheffler, Rory McIlroy, Ludvig Aberg, Wyndham Clark, and more. Even LIV golfers like Jon Rahm, David Puig, and others are playing at the Olympics.
