But he ended up missing out by a shot after bogeying the 18th to hand victory to Keegan Bradley.
Fleetwood had a six-foot putt to win but his shot appeared to hit a ball mark and drifted inches wide.
He then agonisingly watched on as Bradley sank his putt from a similar distance to birdie, achieving a two-shot swing on the final hole to win the championship.
One fan reacted saying: "That's just unbelievably bad luck."

Another added: "1.9M ball mark. Ouch."
And a third wrote: "Really sad to see for the guy."
The result means Fleetwood's wait for a PGA Tour win continues.
He also missed out on the £2.7million winning prize pot.
