Tommy Fleetwood's quest for his first major title remains alive at the 2026 Masters thanks to a pair of Round 2 eagles.

AUGUSTA, Ga. โ€• Entering Friday, Tommy Fleetwood had played 35 rounds at the Masters Tournament without carding an eagle from the fairway. Then, in an eight-hole span, the Englishman made two.

That was my first. โ€ Seven holes later, Fleetwood doubled his pair of crystal highball glasses. On the 550-yard 15th hole, Tommy center-cut his drive, stuck the green on his second, and then gave credit to his looper, Ian Finnis.

โ€œ(Ian) read the putt higher than I would have hit it,โ€ Tommy admitted. โ€œSo it was mostly Finn on 15. โ€ Fleetwood, who carded a 68 and is at 5-under 139, enters the weekend seven shots behind Rory McIlroy.
