ORLANDO, Fla. – Although this is just Tommy Fleetwood’s third start at the Arnold Palmer Invitational, the Bay Hill layout has become something of a second home for the Englishman.
When Fleetwood first made his transition to the PGA Tour he set up his American base with a friend at Bay Hill and that familiarity has paid off in his three starts at Arnie’s place.
He tied for 10th place in his first start at the API in 2017 and was 26th last year, despite a second-round 76. But the real payoff has come this week with rounds of 69-66 that vaulted him into the lead at Bay Hill.
