Tommy Fleetwood was left speechless during TGL Match 5 when a technical issue with the simulator screen led to a poor shot. This left him and everyone present quite confused.
The fifth TGL match took place on Tuesday, February 4, between Los Angeles Golf Club and Boston Common Golf Club. Tommy Fleetwood was joined by Collin Morikawa and Justin Rose for LAGC, while Boston Common had Rory McIlroy, Adam Scott, and Keegan Bradley.
On the par-5, 582-yard Hole 5, Fleetwood played the third shot for his team. However, his first attempt went in vain as the simulator failed to register it. The Englishman was initially confused about what had just happened but soon broke into a smile upon realizing the situation.
Here's the clip:
Following a brief deliberation, the shot was declared invalid, and Tommy Fleetwood was given a mulligan. However, there wasn’t much improvement on his second attempt, as he hit the ball directly into the sand bunker. Nevertheless, LAGC successfully won the hole, quickly taking a 2-0 lead.
