The last player to hold one on Sunday evening will do so wearing the champion\u2019s green jacket.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>There is, of course, the small matter of beating the other 86 players in the field, but Fleetwood carded a third round of 66 on his way to finishing 17th in the Masters last year and was third in the Arnold Palmer Invitational and fifth in the Players Championship.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cThe Arnold Palmer in particular I built a lot of confidence that week and then the following week was as confident as I have felt on a golf course,\u201d Fleetwood said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cIt\u2019s strange when you have the two best finishes of the year and you\u2019re disappointed in both of them because I really felt like I had good chances in both and I didn\u2019t win either. But overall, everything\u2019s in really good shape.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cI feel great being here this week. This is my third time playing and you really get a sense of the difference in how you feel from year one to year two to year three. Year one, it\u2019s all so new, and not overwhelming, but there\u2019s so much to take in and it\u2019s your first time here.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div align=\"center\"><blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-lang=\"en-gb\"><p dir=\"ltr\" lang=\"en\">It\u2019s Masters Monday! <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/uXzLs6Zpg7\">pic.twitter.com\/uXzLs6Zpg7<\/a><\/p>\u2014 The European Tour (@EuropeanTour) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/EuropeanTour\/status\/1115161690851684353?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">8 April 2019<\/a><\/blockquote>\n<script async=\"\" src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator is-style-wide\"\/>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cYear two, you\u2019ve been here already, so you\u2019re more comfortable with it and it just kind of progresses to the point where, I\u2019m not like Freddie Couples or anything like that, but I\u2019m getting a better understanding and feeling of the tournament and the course and what that involves.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n<p>Fleetwood\u2019s chances of victory at Bay Hill were scuppered by a third round of 76 in the toughest conditions of the week, while he carded a closing 73 at Sawgrass after starting the day a shot off the lead.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>A brilliant eagle on the 16th kept his chances of catching Rory McIlroy alive, but Fleetwood then went for the pin on the par-three 17th and found the water instead.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"667\" src=\"https:\/\/golftoday.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/04\/masters_fleetwood.jpg\" alt=\"Tommy Fleetwood vows to continue aggressive approach\" class=\"wp-image-128632\"\/><figcaption>Tommy Fleetwood is targeting a first major title in the Masters (Steven Paston\/PA)<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator is-style-wide\"\/>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cI didn\u2019t think anything of it, I was two behind with two to play and it was the only way I was going to get close to Rory,\u201d added Fleetwood, who was fourth and second in the last two US Opens. \u201cI am always going to play to win.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cNot that golf will ever define me as a person, but I\u2019m never going to look back on my career and say oh I finished  third in the Players or I finished top five in the Masters and made a couple of nice pars on the last to finish top five.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div align=\"center\"><blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-lang=\"en-gb\"><p dir=\"ltr\" lang=\"en\">Tommy Fleetwood \u2013 not out of it yet!
