TOMMY FLEETWOOD was heartbreakingly denied his first PGA Tour win after his putt appeared to hit a ball mark on the 18th hole.
The Brit led by three shots going into the final day of the Travelers Championship.

But he ended up missing out by a shot after bogeying the 18th to hand victory to Keegan Bradley.
Fleetwood had a six-foot putt to win but his shot appeared to hit a ball mark and drifted inches wide.
He then agonisingly watched on as Bradley sank his putt from a similar distance to birdie, achieving a two-shot swing on the final hole to win the championship.
One fan reacted saying: “That’s just unbelievably bad luck.”
Another added: “$1.9M ball mark. Ouch.”
And a third wrote: “Really sad to see for the guy.”
The result means Fleetwood’s wait for a PGA Tour win continues.
He also missed out on the £2.7million ($3.6m) winning prize pot.

Fleetwood shared his disappointment after the final round, saying: “I’m gutted right now.
“I’ve not been in that situation for a long time. It’s probably the worst way to finish.
“Leading by two with three to play. Leading by one going into the last and you don’t even make it to a play-off. It’s the worst way it could go.”
Elsewhere at River Highlands, Rory McIlroy finished tied for sixth on -12.
