It's been a long time coming, but Tommy Fleetwood is finally a PGA Tour champion.

The 34-year-old, who entered the final round of Tour Championship at 16-under, shot a two-under 68 on Sunday to capture both the tournament and the season-long FedEx Cup title. He finished three strokes ahead of both Russell Henley and Patrick Cantlay to clinch it.
