U.S. Open champion Matt Fitzpatrick adjusting to new normal

Matt Fitzpatrick will have time, eventually, to reflect on what he accomplished at the U.S. Open. But for now, he’s solely focused on a strong finish to an already memorable major season.

The newly crowned U.S. Open champion returns to tournament competition this week at the Genesis Scottish Open. Though he also participated in the JP McManus Pro-Am earlier this week in Ireland, this will mark Fitzpatrick’s first official event since his rousing triumph at The Country Club.

“For me, I just want to get back to the routine and getting back to playing regular golf again,” he told reporters Wednesday at the Renaissance Club, where last year he lost in a playoff to Min Woo Lee.
