Matt Fitzpatrick

Englands Matt Fitzpatrick produced a moment of magic on his way to claiming his first major title and a historic double in the 122nd US Open at Brookline.

Current world number one Scottie Scheffler was never far off and closed the gap to just one shot with a birdie of his own on the 17th. Thomas went on to bag his second US PGA title in a three-hole shootout. The Japanese golfer sealed fourth place with that impressive final round display.

England's Matt Fitzpatrick pipped Will Zalatoris and Scottie Scheffler to win US Open 2022 golf tournament.

Fitzpatrick and Zalatoris, who shared the 54-hole lead, each had a two-shot lead at one point. McIlroy had a 69 and finished in the group four shots behind with Collin Morikawa (66). He is meticulous in charting his shots and keeps a record of all of them to identify what needs work. It took a good break, a signature shot and some guts at the end. Both missed 12-foot birdie chances on the 17th, and then Fitzpatrick missed a fairway at the wrong time. Zalatoris again bounced back, taking on a tough pin at the par-3 16th to 7 feet for birdie to cut the lead to one shot. Fitzpatrick shared tearful hugs with his parents and his younger brother, Alex, who caddied for him in the Amateur. He stayed with the same family. He said, ‘Finally. Congratulations for winning in the States,’” Fitzpatrick said. Turns out Fitzpatrick won the member-member at The Bear’s Club — the course Nicklaus built in south Florida — and what the Golden Bear said that day was not forgotten. But the fact that he pulled it off and even had a birdie look was just incredible. He shot 69 and was runner-up for the third time in the last seven majors. “Matt’s shot on 18 is going to be shown probably for the rest of U.S. Open history,” Zalatoris said.

Fitzpatrick is the first Englishman to win a major championship in six years after Danny Willett’s victory at The Masters in 2016. It was the eighth pro tournament win for the Sheffield native who first came on to the scene in 2013 after winning the US Amateur Championship which was also held at The Country Club that year. Matthew Fitzpatrick has become the first English golfer to win a major championship in over six years by claiming victory at the 2022 United States Open Championship.

He’ll rightly savour this success before going again in the 150th Open at St Andrews. “Six is the number,” he said of the target he’d set himself in majors along with his team. Sunday’s success may have been Fitzpatrick’s first on the PGA Tour, but it certainly wasn’t a huge surprise to see the Sheffield man do it in style. That will always be me.”

Matt Fitzpatrick needed a heroic bunker shot to get onto the 18th green and seal the deal for his first major championship at the U.S. Open.

It all culminated in his first major championship at the U.S. Open. You’ve got to get the breaks." "The feeling’s out of this world," Fitzpatrick said. Jack Nicklaus is the only other golfer to pull off the feat. Yeah, to achieve it, I can retire a happy man tomorrow." However, on the second shot from the bunker, Fitzpatrick managed to lift it out of the sand and 18 feet away from the hole.

English golfer Matt Fitzpatrick had always imagined what winning his first major would feel like, but the reality exceeded all expectations on Sunday as he ...

To share any achievement that he has done is incredible," Fitzpatrick said, beaming. "This is the greatest achievement in my career, ever. Like I say, it's just a really crazy special moment." "I just want to win. "It's amazing. The world No. 18 is only the second player -- and the first non-American -- to win both the US Amateur and US Open at the same venue, having won at The Country Club in 2013.

On the 18th green at Brookline, Billy Foster, winner Matt Fitzpatrick's caddie, kissed the flag. An emotional scene, which was many years in the making - 40 ...

Foster initially joked that they should 'flip a coin' to decide the outcome, before stating: 'Everyone watching at home will say you're cheating. He wrote: 'Big one today…..need Billy to be in a good mood later!!' I'll carry that to my grave, to have caddied for the chosen one.' Both Shane Lowry and Nick Faldo hailed Foster as a 'legend' and Ian Poulter claimed it was 'worth the wait'. The Englishman wasn't the only one to break his major duck. He made double bogey and lost by one to Ben Curtis. from staying in hotels 'too dirty for rats' to pranking Tiger Woods, the veteran is one of golf's great characters At the 2019 Scandinavian Invitational, Fitzpatrick asked his caddie for an opinion on a shot that was in a bush. 'To be asked [by] who I consider the best player of all time. But we both did very well, we worked well out there today. Foster has been on the bag for two of the Englishman's wins - 2020 DP World Tour Championship and 2021 Andalucia Masters - but at the weekend Fitzpatrick secured the biggest win of his career - and of his caddie's too. Foster has walked almost every inch of hallowed ground in golf and it was only fitting that after almost four decades in the business he clinched his first major win at Brookline, the same course where back in 1913 a caddie crossed the road to play and win the US Open.

Fitzpatrick is recognised as one of the nicest guys in the game and that was evident as Twitter reacted to his victory. Billy Foster has caddied for the biggest names in the game, including Seve Ballesteros and Lee Westwood, for four decades so he knows his stuff. Family man Fitzpatrick had his younger brother Alex on the bag in 2013 and he was waiting for him at the 18th green on Sunday night.

While Bryson DeChambeau pumped iron and ate a dozen eggs and steak at every meal to add speed and power to his game, Fitzpatrick went only partially down the gym route, investing more in timing and biomechanics. “Not to compare it to my football team [Sheffield United], but I feel like I’m the same deal,” he said, explaining to his American audience the nuances of coming from a post-industrial landscape in the north of England. “Not expected to do well, not expected to succeed. “Lee Westwood, Darren Clarke, Seve, they’ve had their chances over the years and Bjorn. I was caddying for him that day when he left it in the bunker at Sandwich [2003, 16th, double bogey while leading by a shot] and that really hurt. Fitzpatrick has always been good, he just had to believe it himself, to shake from his being the modesty bequeathed by a cultural immersion in Sheffield, all those Yorkshire mores that protect against swagger and conceit. Yet Fitzpatrick kept grinding away in the final group, a heavyweight in the body of a lightweight, refusing to be dimmed by the uber wattage around him. It was fag paper close to forcing a play-off. The game is easier the closer to the flag you are with the second shot. It is not the size of the dog in the fight, but the size of the fight in the dog, etc. He won’t hit one better, yet this was never about one moment of wizardry from the sand. He answered with birdies at 13 and 15 for a one-shot lead going up the last. Only as they turned for home did he wobble a little, missing short putts at 10 and 11. Matsuyama came through the field with a 65 to set the clubhouse mark at three under par, Morikawa slotted in at two under.

Matt Fitzpatrick won the US Open at Brookline on Sunday night after holding off playing partner Will Zalatoris in a thrilling final round.

- US Open - US Open So he is probably the best person to explain The Stack – the training device he’s been using, with coach Mike Walker and biomechanist Sasho Mackenzie, to increase swing speed and smash his drives longer than his bigger, more athletic rivals. And Rory McIlroy stayed around after his own final round to hug the new champion. Billy Foster has caddied for the biggest names in the game, including Seve Ballesteros and Lee Westwood, for four decades so he knows his stuff. Family man Fitzpatrick had his younger brother Alex on the bag in 2013 and he was waiting for him at the 18th green on Sunday night.

“I’m looking forward to it. “I’ll probably have a sit-down meeting with everyone and just try and make the right decisions going forward. “It (The Open) will be great,” Fitzpatrick said. I’ll just keep doing what I’m doing. I can see him winning further majors.” He’s far better than I thought.

Matt Fitzpatrick became only the second player in history to win the US Open and the US Amateur at the same venue, after the 27-year-old Englishman captured ...

I’ve been playing well for a while, and I think it all just fell into place that this was the place it was going to happen.” Once the championship was secured, Fitzpatrick first celebrated with his caddie, Billy Foster, and then his parents and younger brother, Alex, who was his caddie here nine years ago, and has just turn professional. It was his second consecutive runner-up finish in a major, having lost a playoff to Justin Thomas at last month’s PGA Championship. Zalatoris, whose tee shot on 15 landed in thick rough, failed to get up and down from a greenside bunker. Fitzpatrick put on a ball-striking clinic on Sunday, hitting 17 of 18 greens. “It is so cliche, but it’s stuff you dream of as a kid.

Matt Fitzpatrick was going for a little piece of golf history — he was trying to win the U.S. Open, win for the first time in the U.S., become the first English golfer to win the Open since Justin Rose almost a decade ago and only the third English golfer to win it since 1925. Tom Watson will tell you that when he hit his purest shot — the 7-iron he hit on the 18th hole at Turnberry in The Duel in the Sun against Nicklaus — he thought the ball looked like a piece of art against the Scottish sky. In good times and bad, he would think back to that shot and the way the ball looked. You would hope and expect that none of this was playing in Fitzpatrick’s mind as he set up for the shot. See, the last time I played golf was 1992, and it was at Augusta National. In those days, I was columnist at The Augusta Chronicle, and the newspaper had this very cool deal where everyone who covered the Masters for the paper got to play a round of golf at Augusta National on the last day before the course closed for summer. And this — THIS — is why I love golf, even if I don’t play the game. Fitzpatrick is a great golfer with all the shots. Sunday at The Country Club of Brookline, he played the round of his life. He got a great break on the 15th hole. The last time I played a round of golf — and I promise you that at some point this will wind back around to Matt Fitzpatrick and something extraordinary that happened at the U.S. Open — was 30 years ago. Golf is a personal game in the way that football is not. He’d played in more than 100 PGA TOUR events since turning pro as a 20-year-old, and it just seemed odd that someone with his game, his touch around the greens, his brilliant iron play, his meticulous golfing mind*, couldn’t quite break through and win in the states.

BROOKLINE, Mass. — Alex Fitzpatrick was sure Will Zalatoris would make it. Damn sure. He'd just watched his older brother miss his birdie putt on the high ...

“I idolized Tony Jacklin,” he said, sitting on a couch and watching a re-run of the NBC broadcast, gleefully dissecting every shot. His parents and his team did, on the contrary, celebrate with their share of drinks. In exchange, Foster let Russ know he wanted a replica of the U.S. Open trophy. In the middle of the room were four massive tables pushed together; on top of them were things for Matt to sign. “It’s about $300 a bottle!” On the back wall was one of those basketball hoops you hang on a door, accompanied by a scoreboard for the week-long free-throw contest. With Matt off shaking hands and smiling, USGA staff began setting up for the party in a player lounge. Then, with temperatures dropping quickly, into the clubhouse for a meet-and-greet of sorts with The Country Club membership. With the media interviews finally over, it was back to the 18th green for more pictures. He’d just watched his older brother miss his birdie putt on the high side on the 72nd hole of the United States Open, and he knew Zalatoris had watched it as well, and now he was sure Zalatoris would pour his in the middle. Others were potential new ones, wanting a piece of the man on top of the sport. In all honesty, I’d sell it immediately, and that’s not the spirit of the deal. It wasn’t a long way to go; the USGA had graciously pulled the Fitzpatrick clan inside the ropes for the final few holes.

Matt Fitzpatrick is plotting many more major wins after finally breaking his duck in the US Open, writes Iain Carter.

"I'm just trying to find something that makes me a better player. "I don't want to get complacent now. "He has an incredible work ethic and with that extra bit of confidence from winning a major championship it'll hold him in good stead moving forward." "There's not many, in my opinion, that work harder than me. His scrambling and chipping has got a lot better and he normally putts great. His biggest struggle is trying to articulate what this victory means to him. "In terms of discipline, he's just so organised," his father added. "He's put on 20 yards off the tee. It's like going to the gym basically." It came to a head after the majors of 2020. "That's incredible golf. Cowen was a client of Fitzpatrick's bank manager dad.

"I cannot think of a more deserving person to have joined golf's major winner club than Matt Fitzpatrick," says Sky Sports' Jamie Weir.

"The scenes on Brookline's 18th green as a visibly stunned Matt Fitzpatrick hugged his mum and dad, his brother and was welcomed to the major club by Rory McIlroy summed up what golf is all about. From his opening tee shot on Sunday until his 68th stroke of the day - a tap-in on the 18th green - this was a different Matt Fitzpatrick. One with the bit between his teeth, fully focused and determined to seize this opportunity. "There are some people intent of tearing the game of golf apart, with scant regard to its history or tradition. After Tony Jacklin's win in 1970 there was a 40-year wait for the next winner from this continent as it eluded greats of the game like Faldo, Ballesteros, Langer and Lyle. Europe has now provided six of the last 13 champions. The aforementioned Chris and I walked a few holes with them at the Ryder Cup last September and they're just so easy to talk to. The reason this will be such a popular victory is because of who Fitz is as a person. "The Country Club at Brookline couldn't have been a more fitting venue. Factor in he was in the last group on the final day, with the added pressure that brings, and it will go down as one of THE all-time great final rounds at any major championship. that will certainly go down as one of the greatest shots of all time." "His painstaking diligence and dedication to his craft is quite incredible to behold. During the final round many of the game's big guns - Rory McIlroy, Scottie Scheffler, Jon Rahm - attempted to drive the green at the short par 4 5th. Previously viewed as one of the shorter hitters in golf, he's now right up there amongst the longer players.

Matt Fitzpatrick's US Open victory at Brookline on Sunday was also a first major victory for his caddie Billy Foster, who had endured decades of ...

He hits a three wood and puts it in the bunker and I thought to myself, ‘Oh no.’ But his recovery was one of the best shots I’ve ever seen. He likes to hit a driver on that hole, I like him to hit a three wood. “When he kept missing the five-foot putts I thought to myself, ‘The little bastard!’ It was doing my head in because we all know how good a putter he normally is. He kept telling me the first time on the job, ‘I’ll just do 25 weeks and maybe get a fill-in for the others.’ I think he’s had about two weeks off in four years.” But he says he was in that state – all the way from Sandwich home to Yorkshire, in fact – after Thomas Bjørn passed up the opportunity to win the 2003 Open Championship. “I thought about that every day for six months,” Foster said. There was a lot of heartbreak in there, a lot of scar tissue.

Coach Mike Walker reflects on the major winner's relentless desire to improve and the emotions of his Brookline breakthrough.

“Matt is scared of him – or do you call it mutual respect?” Walker says with a laugh. He was always hell bent on one thing and that was getting to the top. Fitzpatrick had been confident enough in his US Open position and mindset to let Walker leave the premises on day three. “We had agreed on a goal for this year of getting to the top 10 in the world. “Let’s just say he made a few grown men cry. “He struggles to take two days off. Key, of course, was that Fitzpatrick, who is more analytical than most of his peers, accepted he needed to find extra yards. One thing we did always think was that, if he was going to win a major, it would probably be the US Open. We felt it really suited his game. “He has worked with Matt Roberts on strength and conditioning for years,” Walker says. Whereas before, as the coach you are always aware of the goals and what they want to achieve but I felt I had my hands tied behind my back a bit. He has done it with a combination of gym training with Matt Roberts and Sasho in the background with his weights [fixed to the end of a practice stick called ‘The Stack]. Yet he needed an extra level — one shown when the Yorkshireman held the US Open trophy aloft at Brookline on Sunday.

US Open champion Matt Fitzpatrick says sharing an honour with Jack Nicklaus is "incredible" as he revealed his remarkable bunker shot during the final round ...

I feel like I proved I have the ability to go out there. I pride myself on being a gritty competitor, just wanting to win badly and doing the right things." This year I have been three or four shots back going into the final round and then had a good round to finish in the top 10. If I get a chance to win, I'll go and win. "I have never felt like that. "[Winning the US Open] is incredibly surreal.

The 27-year-old from Sheffield had never won a professional event in the US before seeing off Will Zalatoris at the end of an epic battle at Brookline. A day ...

“All I was thinking about was trying to win,” he said. “It was money being thrown at me and more money than I could comprehend but what was the risk? I just want to take it all in.” “I have struggled with fairway bunkers all year. “It’s way better than I ever expected,” Fitzpatrick said. Key to his achievement was a widely acclaimed bunker shot on the tournament’s 72nd hole.

Nicklaus sat riveted like the rest of us as the Englishman delivered the shot of a lifetime at the end of perhaps the greatest round that a British golfer ...

It comes just 21 months after he left the US Open in a state of complete despair. Matt has held parties in his own house in Florida where he's been the first to go bed, because he had to practise the following day. 'Everyone in the household was telling Matt it was his time. In other words, the club that is usually the strongest in his bag was his weakest on this occasion. One minute you're thinking you've got hours to kill and the next it's right there on top of you and you have to play well. Of course, if you're hitting that many greens you're going to take a good number of putts but Fitzpatrick took 35, a bonkers number for someone who putts as well as he does. Everything we know about him tells us this is just the start. Russell Fitzpatrick spent his working life dispensing advice as a bank manager but on this occasion in 2013 he was the one seeking counsel. Now after playing one of the great rounds at the US Open, he's already getting phone calls from the greatest golfer of all in Jack Nicklaus Golf is so hard and so cruel at times, as good people are chewed up and spat out all the time. What made the latter's achievement stand out even in this elite company was the venue. Only at the 10th did an iron shot falter badly enough to miss the mark.

Foster won his first major after a 40-year career which includes spells working for the likes of Seve Ballesteros, Lee Westwood and Darren Clarke.

I pride myself on being a gritty competitor, just wanting to win badly and doing the right things." If I get a chance to win, I'll go and win," Fitzpatrick added. "I've never really said it but one thing I pride myself on is that if I get a chance I genuinely feel I will take it. "There are very few players you see that have that obsession with the game to the extent that Tiger Woods had it and Faldo had it but I see it in this guy as well," the Irishman said, as quoted by the Daily Mail . "Everything about his life revolves around his dedication to the game. I know it’s easy to get giddy over players when they have just won a major but I don’t see Fitz settling for just one, as a lot of guys have done. And after witnessing Fitzpatrick’s success, former European Ryder Cup captain Paul McGinley has tipped the world number 10 to go onto create a major legacy, with his passion for the game mirroring that of icon Tiger Woods.

Matt Fitzpatrick's first career major title Sunday corresponded with a boost to a career-high world ranking Monday.

Two other beneficiaries of the increased OWGR points on offer at the US Open were Adam Hadwin of Canada and Denny McCarthy, who were part of a tie for seventh at 1 under. It's McIlroy's first week ranked in the top two since July 2020, which was the same month his most recent stint as world No. 1 ended. Zalatoris is still in search of his first PGA Tour victory. The breakthrough came after Fitzpatrick tied for fifth at last month's PGA Championship and had six other top-10 finishes on the PGA Tour this season. Hadwin jumped from No. 105 to No. 81 on Monday. McCarthy soared from No. 121 in the world to No. 93. Collin Morikawa tied with McIlroy at 2 under for the week and managed to jump three spots, from No. 7 in the world to No. 4.

He leaves no stone unturned in his determination to get better every day. His yardage books are like encyclopaedias; every shot he's hit - in tournament play, ...

Factor in he was in the last group on the final day, with the added pressure that brings, and it will go down as one of THE all-time great final rounds at any major championship. "His painstaking diligence and dedication to his craft is quite incredible to behold. Matt Fitzpatrick showed his quality and how much he is worth by winning the US Open.

But seriously, this guy will do anything to win, including keep a detailed record of all his golf shots (even in rounds with his buddies) and working with a biomechanist’s The Stack System to pick up swing speed. To be clear, “do it” in my case doesn't mean becoming one of the longest hitters on tour and winning a U.S. Open, but simply just hitting a golf ball distances I don’t have to be embarrassed about.
