Europro golf tour: Fleetwood quids in with first pro title

TOMMY Fleetwood stormed to victory in the Formby Hall Classic to claim his first professional title.

Fleetwood, 20, won by a four-shot margin at his home course in Merseyside to pocket the 10,000 first prize. He was in contention for the title from the start of the event as he shot five-under 67 on Wednesday, 68 on Thursday and 65 yesterday. He became outright leader after an eagle at the seventh and birdies at the third, fourth, eighth, 13th and 14th sealed the title. "This is my first professional win and a big step for me as I now know I can do it," said Fleetwood who only turned professional last year after a glittering amateur career that included an appearance in the British and Irish team in the 2009 Walker Cup. Graeme Clark, Warren Bennett and Luke Goddard all finished in tied second on 204 overall (-12).
