Brilliant, well done Fitzpatrick

 

[BlueMojito]

How brilliant was that? Fantastic that it was so close at the end. Congratulations Matt Fitzpatrick!

Brilliant to watch & a great win but tough on zalatoris .

Awesome Matt.
One of the greatest bunker shots ever when you consider the pressure he was under there

I wonder if it will be played as much over the years as the Sandy Lyle shot

 

[homerdog]

It takes massive cojones to play like he did over those closing holes, many great players over the years have failed under that pressure!

Brilliant final round. fitzpatrick kept his foot down and showed huge balls. Great battle between him, zalatoris and scheffler.

I thought he might Rahm it. Well done to him, though I was absolutely pulling for Young Will, who grew up at the same driving range and 9-hole pitch-and-putt I used to go to. Hard luck for him yet again. When he wins it's going to be a VERY popular win.

On another note, I hope the OWGR put the hammer down on LIV this week when they decide whether or not to allow golfers on the Norman's Exhibition Tour Circus to earn points toward WGC and majors and world ranking status. I hope not -- isn't the guaranteed money enough for these guys? -- but I am not optimistic.
