Tommy Fleetwood has set his sights on securing a first victory in his native England after ending his long wait for a maiden PGA TOUR title with an emotional win at the TOUR Championship just over two weeks ago.
Fleetwood tees it up on home soil for the first time since his memorable FedEx Cup triumph at this week's BMW PGA Championship and has enjoyed the warm welcome he has received at Wentworth Club.
Winning in America was a goal the Englishman had been eager to tick off, finally achieving it on his 164th PGA TOUR start, and now he is eyeing success in front of his home crowds.
Fleetwood, who is joined in a stellar field by many of his European Ryder Cup team-mates for this week's Rolex Series event, said: "Being at home and playing in front of home crowds, I guess as a goal and a dream, you always picture those moments.
"The crowd is such a huge part of it and the emotional aspect of it.
"Yeah, winning on home soil is very special. Look at (Rory McIlroy's win at the Amgen Irish Open) last week.
"I think that was one of the coolest things to watch, and what a special moment that was. I've pictured myself winning on the 18th green many, many times.
"Ultimate dream - I'm from Southport - I've got Open Championships that come close to home every few years, and that is like the most powerful image for me.
"Home crowds are a huge part of what we dream of and having opportunities, so yeah, that can be another one to add to the list of things that I haven't done yet but I'll continue to try."
Fleetwood is relishing being back in England, with this being his first opportunity to catch up with many people since winning at East Lake Golf Club in Atlanta, Georgia.
He said: "It's good to be back. Had a nice last couple of weeks in the UK and, I think the way that the global schedule works now, I always enjoy coming back to this tournament and seeing faces that I don't see every week anyway.
"It's kind of extra nice when you've got so many people saying 'Well done' that you haven't seen. So that's really lovely.
"Yeah, it's nice being back at work. This is our flagship event. I always think it's such a great event and quite a beautiful part of the world. Yeah, it feels nice to be somewhere familiar but also excited to get back to work."
