For over three decades, Billy Foster has carried the bag at plenty of major tournaments, yet never for a winner. That is, until Sunday.
Matt Fitzpatrick held off a late push by Will Zalatoris and Scottie Scheffler to capture his first career major, finishing the U.S. Open at 6-under par. The win netted him a record $3.15 million payout and his first-ever win on the PGA Tour. It also delivered a long-awaited victory for Foster, who commemorated the moment by giving a kiss to the flag on the 18th green.
Fitzpatrick and Foster shared a long embrace after Zalatoris missed a birdie putt that would have sent the pair into a playoff for the championship.
