printer Posted June 19, 2022 Share Posted June 19, 2022 Fantastic performance from Fitzpatrick. Thought he played comfortably the best golf in the final round. Really delighted for him. Zalatoris will surely win a major before too long. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

peasy23 Posted June 19, 2022 Share Posted June 19, 2022 Fitzpatrick has quietly become one of the most consistent players on tour, his last 5 tourneys have saw him finish 1st, 2nd, 5th (at the PGA), 10th and miss a cut. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

D Angelo Barksdale Posted June 19, 2022 Share Posted June 19, 2022 17/18 greens on the final day of the US Open, beating 2 of the best Yanks. Fair fucking play Matty. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Benjamin_Nevis Posted June 19, 2022 Share Posted June 19, 2022 That was an absolutely magnificent final day to round off one of my favourite ever majors. It literally couldn't have gone better: Dramatic win when he looked like he'd fucked it on the last Plays one of the greatest last hole bunker shots of all time (better than Sandy's imo) Lee Westwood will probably bitter AF I think the top 3 were all in my dream team GLORIOUS 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Florentine_Pogen Posted June 19, 2022 Share Posted June 19, 2022 (edited) The new US Open champion talks! “No words. It’s what you grow up dreaming of. it’s something I’ve worked so hard for, for such a long time. There was a big monkey on my back, trying to win over here. All everyone ever talked about was that. To do it as a major for my first win, there’s nothing better. I had so much patience today. If I can hit 18 greens, I’d like to think I’ve got a good chance. I near as dammit did it. I got a couple of nice breaks on 15 and took advantage of it, and that’s what it took at the end. Me and Billy [Foster, his caddie] spent a lot of time talking about the 18th tee shot. Undecided. I hit 3-wood today into the bunker, and if there’s one shot I’ve struggled with this year that I just do not want, it’s a fairway bunker shot. Ha ha! I guess ability took over, and it’s one of the best shots I’ve hit of all time!” Fitzpatrick talks to Sky Sports. “It’s incredible. It’s ten million times better than I thought it would feel. I never wanted to say it, but it felt like it was meant to be. I’ve played so well so many times and come up just shy. For it to happen here, it just felt right. Billy Foster was massive, so calm the whole day. It means even more to him than to me, given he’s been around so long. I know it was eating away at him, and to get it done for myself but for him as well is great.” Edited June 19, 2022 by Florentine_Pogen 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Florentine_Pogen Posted June 19, 2022 Share Posted June 19, 2022 From The Guardian comments section :- "Fitzpatrick just seems the most amazingly humble person. When he missed that birdie putt he had a 1 foot tap on for his par. He could have left that shot until after Zalatoris birdie attempt. Which meant he could have had that par putt to cheers from the crowd and really milked the moment. Instead he just calmly walked up without a second thought and tapped it in. And left Zalatoris to have the glory if he got it in. He's the sort of bloke I would want to have a drink with." 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Great to see his celebrations as well - It's nice to see one of these guys genuinely love the moment and what it means. Scheffler would probably have punched the air once and made a boring speech about the lord guiding him, or something equally fucking tedious. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
