He becomes just the third\u00a0golfer to achieve the feat in winning the Open and Amateur championships respectively of the USGA at the same course. The other two are Jack Nicklaus who did so at Pebble Beach and on the women&#8217;s side the feat was accomplished by Juli Inkster at Prairie Dunes. The tie to the Golden Bear noticeably resonated with Fitzpatrick.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<div align=\"center\">\r\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\">\r\n<p dir=\"ltr\" lang=\"en\">That shot <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/MattFitz94?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">@MattFitz94<\/a> played out of the fairway bunker on 18 was one of the great iron shots under pressure I\u2019ve ever seen. <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/usopengolf?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">@usopengolf<\/a> <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/USGA?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">@usga<\/a><\/p>\r\n\u2014 Jack Nicklaus (@jacknicklaus) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/jacknicklaus\/status\/1538698648393064449?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">June 20, 2022<\/a><\/blockquote>\r\n<script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script><\/div>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>\u201cAny time you&#8217;re sharing a record with Jack Nicklaus, it&#8217;s unbelievable. So, for me to have that as well is incredible. He called me up down there just at the presentation to congratulate me. Coming from someone like that, it means the world.\u201d<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>Fitzpatrick&#8217;s tee-to-green play was surgeon-like in its precision. Hitting all but one green in the regulation stroke in a final round at a U.S. Open was beyond remarkable The most impressive came at the final hole when his tee shot found a fairway bunker on the left side. Holding a one-shot lead over Scheffler and Zalatoris the possibility of a playoff seemed plausible &#8212; so was the possibility of losing the lead for good.\u00a0<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>Fortunately, for Fitzpatrick the position and lie of the ball in the bunker provided him the opportunity to hit a 9-iron approach that reached the putting surface and provided him with a two-putt par. That left matters up to Zalatoris to birdie from 15 feet to create a tie for the championship. The putt just missed to the left and made Fitzpatrick the first Englishman to claim the title since Justin Rose did so in 2013 at Merion.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>\u201cMatt&#8217;s shot on 18 is going to be shown probably for the rest of U.S. Open history,\u201d said Zalatoris. \u201cI walked by it, and I thought that going for [the green] was going to be [gutsy], but the fact that he pulled it off and even had a birdie look was just incredible. So, hats off to him. He played great all week.\u201d<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<div align=\"center\">\r\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-conversation=\"none\">\r\n<p dir=\"ltr\" lang=\"fr\">Absolute nails. <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/hashtag\/USOpen?src=hash&amp;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">#USOpen<\/a> <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/2V218Ahvnj\">pic.twitter.com\/2V218Ahvnj<\/a><\/p>\r\n\u2014 U.S. Open (USGA) (@usopengolf) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/usopengolf\/status\/1538679587982479361?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">June 20, 2022<\/a><\/blockquote>\r\n<script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script><\/div>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>The win was also Fitzpatrick&#8217;s first major championship victory and his first as a professional in the USA.

Both men had to withstand the surge of Scheffler who birdied four of the first six holes.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>The quiet self-effacing Fitzpatrick stayed focused through the round but what stood out were two impactful birdie putts &#8212; the first coming at the dangerous par-4 13th when he curled into the hole a 49-footer and the second from 18 feet at the long par-4 15<sup>th<\/sup>\u00a0when his drive missed wide right leaving him nearly 225 yards from the hole.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-218727 size-page-width\" src=\"https:\/\/golftoday.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/us-open-2022-r4_fitzpatrick3-scaled-970x545.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"970\" height=\"545\" srcset=\"https:\/\/golftoday.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/us-open-2022-r4_fitzpatrick3-scaled-970x545.jpg 970w, https:\/\/golftoday.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/us-open-2022-r4_fitzpatrick3-scaled.jpg 1024w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 970px) 100vw, 970px\" \/>\r\n<figcaption>(Robert Beck\/USGA)<\/figcaption>\r\n<\/figure>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>Fitzpatrick has a youthful appearance but the determination and competitive fire burns hot.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>&#8220;I&#8217;ve always felt like I had it [competitiveness]. I&#8217;ve always been competitive, and that comes from my dad as well. My dad was always competitive with us as juniors. I just love winning. I absolutely love winning. I don&#8217;t care who it is, but I just want to beat everyone.\u00a0Although it doesn&#8217;t come across &#8212; like I don&#8217;t show it much because I like to be quite reserved. Yeah, I just love beating everyone. It&#8217;s as simple as that. Anyone else on TOUR would say the same thing. That&#8217;s why the guys are the best, and that&#8217;s why they play so well. Just love winning.&#8221;<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>Next up &#8212; the 150<sup>th<\/sup>\u00a0Open Championship set for St. Andrews in mid-July. Fitzpatrick is eager for the event.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>&#8220;I love playing St. Andrews. It&#8217;s a great golf course. It&#8217;s going to be interesting, obviously, with the length and everything. And now I&#8217;m a bomber, I&#8217;ll probably be driving most of the greens [laughter]&#8221;<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<div align=\"center\"><iframe title=\"YouTube video player\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/79kcpnBuTtM\" width=\"560\" height=\"315\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\"><\/iframe><\/div>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<h4 id=\"h-us-open-2022-fitzpatrick-finally-5\" class=\"has-text-align-right has-white-color has-text-color wp-block-heading\">\u00a0<\/h4>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>It helps that Fitzpatrick has been on a conditioning program and his previous modest length off the tee has been boasted considerably.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>&#8220;Since 2020, I spent a lot of time working with Mike Walker and my coach and biomechanist Sasho Mackenzie. We did a little bit then, and he gave me this speed stick called The Stack. I&#8217;ve been doing that religiously week in and week out. It&#8217;s like going to the gym basically. It&#8217;s like a training program. I&#8217;ll be honest, it&#8217;s worked wonders.&#8221;<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>With three of the four majors now concluded it is clear the next generation of players is now firmly in place to battle one another in the years ahead with Scheffler taking the green jacket at Augusta and Justin Thomas edging out Zalatoris for the PGA Championship title last month.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>When Fitzpatrick was selected for the 2016 Ryder Cup matches at Hazeltine, he seemed out of his element and Euro team captain Darren Clarke used him only twice and, in both instances, he was soundly beaten.\u00a0<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>Much has changed since then.\u00a0When 2021 drew to a close Fitzpatrick was ranked 24<sup>th<\/sup>\u00a0in the world &#8212; he&#8217;s now 10th.\u00a0Don&#8217;t be fooled by his quiet demeanor or define it as arrogance.
