The two men in the final group, Matt Fitzpatrick and Will Zalatoris — both accomplished golfers but without a PGA Tour victory, let alone a major title, on their resumés — took centre stage. It would be a difficult play in a Tuesday practice round; with a one-shot lead on the final hole of a major, it was defining. “If there was one shot that I’ve struggled with this year, that I just do not want, it’s a fairway bunker shot,” Fitzpatrick would say. “I don’t know, I guess ability just took over and it’s one of the best shots I’ve hit of all time.”When Zalatoris’s putt did not break at the hole, Fitzpatrick won. Dreaming of his name being etched on a major championship trophy — which, by the way, won him a whopping $3.15 (U.S.) million.
