Woburn Wizard Fitzpatrick Is Tour's New Kid on the Block
WOBURN, England — The European Tour can proudly boast the arrival of a highly promising new young kid on the block following Matt Fitzpatrick's stunning two-shot win at the $4.55 million British Masters.
Clearly the event is not of the same stature as the U.S. Masters but the 21-year-old Englishman was happy to draw comparisons between his victory on Sunday and American Jordan Spieth's triumph in the year's opening major in April.
"Winning wire-to-wire is something I think most players dream of and it's not often it gets done," Fitzpatrick told reporters with a beaming smile.
"Spieth won the Masters that way and for me to be in the same category is pretty special. It's a great achievement."
