Young Gun Fitzpatrick in Shock After Woburn Victory
WOBURN, England — England's Matt Fitzpatrick was in shock after completing a wire-to-wire victory in the British Masters on Sunday at the tender age of 21.
The youngster said the first win of his professional career, coming in his rookie season, had come way ahead of expectation.
"It's unbelievable, it really is," Fitzpatrick told reporters after a closing three-under-par 68 left him two strokes clear of Dane Soren Kjeldsen, Shane Lowry of Ireland and Paraguay's Fabrizio Zanotti.
"This year my goal was to keep my tour card and I wasn't even sure I was going to be able to do that. It's definitely come faster than I thought."
