ATLANTA — Tommy Fleetwood of England ended a summer of heartache with the richest prize on the PGA Tour.
He won the Tour Championship on Sunday for his first tour title to capture the FedEx Cup and its $10 million reward.
Fleetwood got plenty of help at the start when Patrick Cantlay began bogey-double bogey and could never catch up.
Scottie Scheffler hit his opening tee shot out-of-bounds and still was a threat until a tee shot into the water ended his hopes on the 15th.
Through it all, Fleetwood held his nerve.
He closed with a 2-under 68 for a three-shot victory over Cantlay (71) and Russell Henley (69).
Ryder Cup captain Keegan Bradley was within one shot of the lead on the front nine but wound up with a 70 to tie for seventh.
He now has to decide whether to use one of his six captain’s picks on himself.
