This week's winners and losers from the golf world

Winners:

Tommy Fleetwood

The Englishman fired a bogey-free 66 to capture the HNA French Open on Sunday, edging Peter Uihlein by one shot. The victory in Paris was Fleetwood's second European Tour win of the season, and moved him to the top of the Race to Dubai standings.

"It was good from start to finish, really. Nearly holed my first two iron shots," Fleetwood told Will Gray of the Golf Channel. "I played great today, felt comfy again. It's always great to just test your game and test what you work on every day under the ultimate pressure."

Rickie Fowler

The Quicken Loans National has a strong connection to the military, honoring every active-duty and retired military member throughout the week. On Wednesday, Fowler had Sgt. 1st Class Bryane Greene caddie for him during the Wednesday Pro-Am, and then surprised his family on No. 18 after four years serving overseas.

Peter Uihlein

The former U.S. Amateur champion wasn't able to seal the deal Sunday in Paris, finishing second to Tommy Fleetwood, but he didn't leave empty-handed. Uihlein was able to grab a spot in the Open Championship due to his finish at Le Golf National, and will make his third appearance at The Open at Royal Birkdale later this month.

Losers:

Quicken Loans National

When the tournament began in 2007, it was held in high regard, but it's no longer a second-tier event on the PGA Tour. Just four major champions teed it up this week, compared to 13 in 2007. The highest-ranked golfer in the field was world No. 9 Rickie Fowler, and it's tournament host, Tiger Woods, hasn't been consistent with his duties in recent years. A bad date on the schedule, a home course that changes each year, and two title sponsors in 10 years makes the future of the tournament uncertain.

The Steph Curry backlash

The two-time NBA MVP received a sponsor's invitation this week to play in a Web.com event in August, which some professionals disagreed with on social media.

Curry's presence at the event isn't going to ruin anyone's career by teeing it up that week. It will only draw attention to the tournament and help the tour financially.
