Englishman Matt Fitzpatrick Wins Us Open 2022 With 1 Hit For First Major Title

US Amateur Champion in 2013. The US Open Champion Sunday. In a three-way battle in Brooklyn that went down the wire, Fitzpatrick took control with a great break and an even better shot in the 15th hole for a two-shot swing. It was also a clutch from a gorge shelter in the 18th that made the same level for a 2-under 68-year-old. Victory was not certain until Will Zalatoris, who showed an amazing fight from every mistake, fell to his knees when his 15-foot bird in the 18th just slipped from the left side of the cup. Zalatoris, who closed with 69, was a runner-up in the second consecutive big.

1 Relevant Masters champion Scottie Scheffler never came back from the back-to-back boogers to start the nine backs that cost him the lead. He had a chance for a 25-foot bird in the 18th that he just lost and left him one behind with 67. Along with the $ 3.15 million cash prize, Fitzpatrick had Jack Nicklaus’s gold medal wrapped around his neck, which matched. Fitzpatrick is the 13th player to win both the Amateur and the US Open in his career and the second to win both on the same track, connecting Nicklaus, who did the trick at Pebble Beach. Julie Inkster won the US Amateur Women’s and Women’s Open at the Prairie Dunes. Fitzpatrick, who played for Northwestern for a while before becoming a professional, won for the eighth time in the world and this was his first time in America – at least one tournament everyone knows. He won membership in The Bear’s Club in Florida earlier this year, the course Nicklaus built. “He did a little bit of abuse to me at the beginning of the year. He said, ‘Finally. “Congratulations on winning in the United States,” said Fitzpatrick. And then slightly lifting the trophy, Fitzpatrick sent a fun message to Nicklaus: “Jack, I won a second time.” Fitzpatrick became the first player since Graeme McDowell in 2010 to win his first PGA Tour victory at the US Open. It took a good break, a typical shot and some guts in the end. Fitzpatrick and Zalatoris were tied in the 15th when the Englishman hit his shirt so far right that he entered the gallery and found a decent lie on the grass that was dead and trampled. Zalatoris lost only a few meters and was buried in deep grass. Hit a 5-iron from 220 yards to 18 feet below the hole. Zalatoris entered the front shelter, was shot at 25 feet and turned into a bullet. Fitzpatrick took a two-shot lead when his bird entered the cup at such a perfect pace that he did not even touch the pin he left in the cup. Zalatoris came back again, getting a hard pin on par-3 16-7 feet for the bird to reduce the lead on a shot. They both missed opportunities for a 12-foot bird in the 17th, and then Fitzpatrick lost his way at the wrong time, pulling him left into a shelter with a sharp piece of rough right in front of him. The playoffs seemed to be outstanding – the three previous US Opens in Brooklyn had all been judged by playoffs – and then Fitzpatrick fearlessly struck a fade with a 9-iron that brought the open bunker in front of the green and stood 18 feet Far away. He left little and could only watch as Zalatoris missed his last chance. “Matt’s shot at 18 will probably be shown for the rest of the US Open history,” Zalatoris said. “I walked next to him and thought it would be crazy to do it. But the fact that he pulled it and even had a bird was just unbelievable. “So his hat. He played great all week obviously and gave a good round today.” Fitzpatrick finished in 6 under 134. Matt Fitzpatrick became the second man to win an Amateur and US Open on the same track, along with Jack Nicklaus who won at Pebble Beach in 1961 and 1972. Andrew Redington / Getty Images The 27-year-old Fitzpatrick, the first Englishman since Justin Rose to win the US Open in 2013 and the youngest England player to win a major title since Tony Jacqueline at the US Open in 1970, felt his time was near. He is meticulous in mapping his plans and keeps a record of everything to find what work is needed. And he has focused on speed in his swing for the last two years, giving him the duration and confidence to compete with anyone. That did not make it easy on Sunday, a three-man fight from the start when Jon Rahm and Rory McIlroy fell behind and never re-entered the mix. Fitzpatrick and Zalatoris, who shared the 54-hole lead, had a two-point lead each at one point. Zalatoris, who lost in a playoff game to Justin Thomas in the PGA Championship last month, recovered from two early bogs. They were tied when Zalatoris made an 18-foot bird in the short par-3 11th, and Fitzpatrick made a three-pointer for a ball of the same range. The 25-year-old from Dallas suddenly had a lead of two shots. He also failed to keep the ball in goal, which cost him a shot at No. 12. And then came another big turn, with Fitzpatrick piercing a 50-foot bird in the 13th green. Zalatoris did well to make his 15th and they led to the tense conclusion. Scheffler was still struggling for a second big year this year, but everyone else became a distant memory. Hideki Matsuyama had the low lap of the week at 65, but finished in 3-under 277, and that would never be good enough. In the end, it was Fitzpatrick who shared hugs with his family in the green, including his younger brother Alex, who took pride in him to the US Amateur and recently became a professional. And there was his partner, Billy Foster, one of the most popular, long-time loopers in Europe who had never been in the bag for major until Sunday. “Billy said it for a while to keep doing what you are doing and the opportunity will come,” Fitzpatrick said. “He did, and I got it.” ESPN Stats & Information and the Associated Press contributed to this report.
