NU at the U.S. Open recap: Three ex-Wildcats battle golf’s toughest test

Three former Northwestern golfers — Matt Fitzpatrick, Dylan Wu and David Nyfjäll — competed at the 123rd U.S. Open at The Los Angeles Country Club (LACC) in Southern California.

Fitzpatrick, whose first professional win came last year at the U.S. Open at The Country Club in Brookline, Massachusetts, fell short of defending his title. However, the Englishman still played well finishing the tournament tied for 17th at one-under.

While Fitzpatrick did not play as well as he would have liked, the 2022 U.S. Open winner had one of the tournament’s most memorable moments with a second round hole-in-one on the short par-3 15th hole.
