The golf world was abuzz last week when Matthew Fitzpatrick won the US Open, his first major championship. This week, he is back in action at the RBC Heritage, and he is leading the tournament by one stroke after the first round.
Fitzpatrick, who hails from England, has been playing on the PGA Tour since 2015 and has had a successful career thus far. He has won four tournaments on the European Tour, including the Nordea Masters in 2017, and has finished in the top 10 of several other events.
At the US Open, Fitzpatrick shot a final round of 66 to finish at 11-under par, one stroke ahead of runner-up Louis Oosthuizen. It was a remarkable performance from Fitzpatrick, who was playing in his first major championship. He was able to stay calm under pressure and make clutch putts when it mattered most.
At the RBC Heritage, Fitzpatrick is looking to build on his success from the US Open. He shot a 4-under par 67 in the first round and is currently one stroke ahead of the field. He is in prime position to take home his fifth professional victory and his first on the PGA Tour.
Fitzpatrick has been playing some great golf lately and is one of the most exciting players in the game right now. He is an excellent ball-striker and has a great short game. If he can stay focused and maintain his level of play, he should be able to capture the RBC Heritage title this week.
The golf world is watching with anticipation as Matthew Fitzpatrick looks to add another victory to his impressive resume. He has already shown that he can handle the pressure of a major championship and now he is looking to prove that he can win on the PGA Tour as well. It should be an exciting tournament to watch as Fitzpatrick looks to take home the trophy.
