Playing in a group with Fleetwood, and competing for the championship to the end was Patrick Cantlay of the United States.

Fleetwood won Eastlake, the holy site of golf in the United States, with huge support from American fans, saying it was amazing. In fact, I was a little emotional. I'm lucky in that I always get a lot of support. I have received tremendous support as I have been competing for the championship for about a month, and it was really special to receive such support again at a moment like today. I never want to lose that preciousness.'
