Matt Fitzpatrick has admitted his putting has let him down as he failed to convert his sparkling PGA Tour form into a major challenge this year. The 31-year-old, who has won three times on the PGA Tour in 2026, finished tied-18th at the Masters and tied-14th at the US PGA Championship.
The Sheffield star, who shot a final-round 65 at Aronimink Golf Club, said: “I played pretty solid at the Masters tee-to-green and just didn’t make any putts there. And here it was the same thing. I made some putts on Sunday and that’s the difference.”
Fitzpatrick, who won the US Open in 2022, plans two weeks off before the Memorial Tournament in Ohio, then the US Open. He also criticised the green setups at Aronimink, echoing views of Scottie Scheffler and Rory McIlroy, calling some pin placements “absurd”.
