Fleetwood proudly stood on the winner’s podium with a well-deserved silver medal, reflecting on his Olympic experience. “Standing on that podium with a medal in front of the crowd was one of the most amazing moments I’ve had as a golfer. So I’ll remember all those times for the rest of my life,” Fleetwood shared.
