Tommy Fleetwood's £120K British Open Winnings Sent to Golf Teacher of Same Name

Good news for anyone sharing the name of a golfing professional: You are just one clerical error away from a significant payday.

According to ESPN.com, the European Tour sent the nearly £120,000 that Tommy Fleetwood won for finishing in 12th place at the Open Championship to a golf teacher in Florida who goes by the same name.

A friend of the golf teacher shared the image of the money appearing in his account on Twitter:
