Young entered the final round of The Players four shots adrift of Ludvig Aberg, while Fitzpatrick was a further shot behind the Swede. However, Aberg lost his swing, and indeed his confidence, on the back nine at TPC Sawgrass, leaving the American and the Englishman to battle it out for the trophy.
It was Young who emerged victorious at The Players Championship in the end, though, after he parred the final hole and Fitzpatrick made a bogey. Young tapped in from close range to win The Players and Fitzpatrick immediately embraced his TGL teammate.

And fortunately for Young, he took the spoils at TPC Sawgrass . Cam Young speaks out about Matt Fitzpatrick after The Players Championship Young and Fitzpatrick have got to know each other fairly well over the past year or so, after playing on the same TGL team. And the now two-time PGA Tour winner was asked what it was like to play alongside Fitzpatrick on day four of The Players.
“ He’s a great guy, “ the 28-year-old American said. “ We’ve gotten to be around each other a decent bit through TGL, through our team, New York, and he is an excellent playing partner. “ He plays quick.
