U.S. Open 2022

Matt Fitzpatrick shot a 68 on Sunday at The Country Club to beat Will Zalatoris and Scottie Scheffler by a stroke as he won his first major championship at the ...

It was emblematic of one of the great extended finishes to a major championship in the last decade. "The feeling is out of this world," said Fitzpatrick of holding the U.S. Open trophy in the same place he once held its cousin. The last fortnight has been about, as PGA Tour commissioner Jay Monahan said in a recent letter to players, "money, money, money." To do that and take advantage of the break I had was fantastic." Perhaps the future and the four holes he had remaining to break the gridlock. As he walked toward it, the Boston fans broke contain on the police force behind them and encircled their once and future champion. He explained after the event how difficult it is to stop envisioning the trophy in his grasp. His somber-sounding shame permeated the rest of the property and foreshadowed a future that remains undesirable. Pars at No. 14 led to a long wait on the 15th tee as fans squeezed into the narrow alley looking out over the finishing stretch where turkeys (literal turkeys) frequently circled this week. Over the ensuing two hours, a week that was about everything but golf then delivered perhaps the best golf we've seen this year. Scheffler hung on for dear life down the stretch trying to achieve the rare Masters-U.S. Open double, and Fitzpatrick led Zalatoris by one at the turn with both seeking their first career majors and PGA Tour wins. Collin Morikawa led at the halfway point as he tried to become the first golfer to win three majors in his first 11 such starts since the Masters started in 1934.

Matt Fitzpatrick held off Will Zalatoris and Scottie Scheffler for his first major victory at the U.S. Open on Sunday. How much did he make?

Those who left the PGA Tour to compete in LIV Golf were reportedly signing ridiculously lucrative contracts. He narrowly missed it and finished 5-under par for the tournament. Fitzpatrick is taking home a sizable chunk of change with his U.S. Open victory. Money has been a concern for some pro golfers. Jack Nicklaus is the only other golfer to pull off the feat. He had a final-round 67.

Instead of playing it safe, Fitzpatrick hit one of the gutsiest shots you'll ever see in the final hole of a major championship. He went for the green and hit ...

"I just felt I had to hit the green. Him and Jack Nicklaus are the only golfers in history to win the U.S. Amateur and U.S. Open on the same course. I was a little worried I gave him the line. And I didn't mean to do that, but I just committed to the shot we kind of planned and came out of it squeezy fade. And to get it to be just past pin high, like I said, the fact he had a look was just awesome. "I knew he was going to give himself a chance. It was like just kind of natural ability took over and just played the shot that was at hand, if I was a junior trying to hit it close. If I had to hit straight, it was kind of a chip across the green or whatever it was. "I knew full well Will was going to hit it close. If I could hit the green -- if I made par, it puts pressure on Will," Fitzpatrick said. So he's probably hitting a 7- or a 6-iron and opening it up, carving it off probably left edge of the green. It could have led to a disastrous hole that cost him his first major championship.

Matt Fitzpatrick picked up his first major title with a U.S. Open win on Sunday holding off Will Zalatoris and Scottie Scheffler.

Rory McIlroy finished 2-under par four the tournament with a 69 on the final round. He finished Sunday with five birdies and three bogeys. He narrowly missed it and finished 5-under par for the tournament. A big birdie putt on 15 gave him a two-shot lead on Zalatoris and Scheffler. He had a final-round 67. Jack Nicklaus is the only other golfer to pull off the feat.

The decorated career amateur might appear to live like a pro, but he says it's not that simple.

But I’m excited for chapters to come in the future.” “The last two years I was in school. I put a lot of effort and energy into golf, and I’ll always be passionate about the game. The plan is to move to south Florida when that happens. I made the dean’s list in two out of four semesters in business school, and I passed the SIE exam after graduation. He does not pretend he has been chained to a desk year-round, searching for an hour here or there to hit balls. He plays in the first pairing out with Harris English on Sunday at 8:49 a.m. “I don’t really play a ton between October and March,” he says. Last month, he won the Coleman Invitational mid-am event at Seminole. Last year, he was runner-up at the Crump Cup, another big mid-am event at Pine Valley. He’s been the lone mid-am on three straight U.S. Walker Cup teams. It’s true that Hagestad hasn’t worked a traditional schedule for the last half-dozen years. Tall, handsome, polished, well-spoken, a member of multiple exclusive clubs— Los Angeles Country Club, the host of next year’s U.S. Open, and Deepdale on Long Island—and, according to the keyboard warriors, a professional golfer masquerading as a mid-amateur. There are, however, gaps in his résumé’s chronology; Hagestad has had the luxury of taking breaks from work to focus on his golf.

Matt Fitzpatrick (-6) earned his first victory on the PGA Tour in a major way, fighting off Scottie Scheffler and Will Zalatoris (both -5) to become the first ...

2:39 p.m.: McIlroy with a nice stinger down the fairway on Hole 3. 4:47 p.m.: Scheffler (-4) is on the verge of another meltdown. 4:58 p.m.: Fitzpatrick bogeys on 10 as well to lose the outright lead. 4:38 p.m.: Zalatoris is heating up at the right time, too. 6:29 p.m.: Fitzpatrick's approach on 17 lands just above the pin and rolls back a few inches. 5:32 p.m.: Fitzpatrick hits an incredible lag putt for birdie on Hole 13! 6:15 p.m.: And now Fitzpatrick birdies from roughly the same distance! 6:45 p.m.: Fitzpatrick's shot is off the mark. 6:46 p.m.: Zalatoris edges the hole but misses it just left. Zalatoris had the final shot of the day and, to his credit, he nearly forced a playoff. But birdies on 6, 7 and 9 set him up to battle Fitzpatrick until the last putt. Fitzpatrick and Zalatoris started the day tied atop the leaderboard at 4 under.

BROOKLINE, Mass. — They were both looking to change their lives on Sunday. Neither Matthew Fitzpatrick nor Will Zalatoris had won a PGA Tour event, ...

“I walked by it and I thought that going for it was going to be ballsy, but the fact that he pulled it off and even had a birdie look was just incredible. That time looked like it might be Sunday when he seized the lead on the 11th hole with a birdie. It looked dodgy at best that he was going to be able to lift his approach shot over the lip of the bunker 159 yards to the flag. “Matt’s shot on 18 is going to be shown probably for the rest of U.S. Open history,’’ Zalatoris said. Zalatoris has now played in seven major championships and has finished eighth or better in six of them. “With about 6 feet to go, I thought I had it,’’ Zalatoris said. “That was one of the best shots I’ve hit of all time.’’ Fitzpatrick said. Fitzpatrick’s approach on 18 came to rest about 20 feet above the hole. It’s what you have to do in a U.S. Open if you want to win. “The feeling’s out of this world. In the end, maybe it was. It’s a war of attrition.

Matt Fitzpatrick used elite ball-striking to win the 2022 U.S. Open on the same course he was U.S. Amateur champ nine years earlier.

“And I didn’t mean to do that, but I just committed to the shot we kind of planned and came out of it squeezy fade. For Fitzpatrick, the celebration was just beginning, and at The Country Club once more. It was like just kind of natural ability took over and just played the shot that was at hand, if I was a junior trying to hit it close,” Fitzpatrick said. “Matt’s shot on 18 is going to be shown probably for the rest of U.S. Open history,” Zalatoris said. After pars on 17, Fitzpatrick went to the 18th leading Zalatoris and Scheffler, the new clubhouse leader, by one. Fitzpatrick found the fairway bunker off the tee — just the third fairway he missed all day — but worked a cut around an edge of the bunker and stuck it to 18 feet away. Fitzpatrick parred the 16th as Zalatoris answered with a birdie to tie Scheffler at five under, one back. Playing the 108-yard par-3 11th — a new addition to a Brookline U.S. Open — Zalatoris rolled in an 18-footer for birdie, and Fitzpatrick three-putted from 17 feet for a two-shot swing. Zalatoris and Fitzpatrick both parred 14 but found the rough on 15. It was an otherworldly ball-striking round from Fitzpatrick, who hit 17 of 18 greens, including the final one when his drive found the bunker and he needed a clutch out to preserve his one-stroke lead. Zalatoris found more trouble off the tee on 13 and had to punch out, but he made a clutch 12-foot par save on top of Fitzpatrick’s birdie to keep it a tie at five under. “Obviously the expectations were for me to play well, but I feel like having won the U.S. Amateur here as well, I just felt so comfortable around this place,” Fitzpatrick said.
