Matt Fitzpatrick has won his first major title at the US Open. The Yorkshireman shot a two-under par final round of 68 to finish six-under for the tournament – one shot clear of the world No 1, Scottie Scheffler, and his fellow American Will Zalatoris.
Afterwards, an elated Fitzpatrick said: ‘It’s what you grow up dreaming of. It’s something I’ve worked so hard for, for such a long time’. Fitzpatrick won the US Amateur Championship at Brookline in 2013 and now shares a notable feat with the legendary Jack Nicklaus, having gone on to win the US Open at the same venue.
