Matt Fitzpatrick now admits what he ‘frustrated and disappointed’ with in his own game at The Masters

Photo by Kieran Cleeves/Augusta National/Getty Images Matt Fitzpatrick entered The Masters on good form and with high hopes. He came close to winning The Players, missing out to Cameron Young on the final two holes, then bounced back emphatically with a win at the Valspar Championship. But despite arriving at Augusta National with a realistic chance to win the Green Jacket, Fitzpatrick finished T18 and wasn’t competitive throughout.

His putting let him down over the four days, as he lost strokes to the field on the greens. The Englishman looks to have put that behind him now, as a second-round 63 at the RBC Heritage gave Fitzpatrick a one-stroke lead over Viktor Hovland entering the weekend. He explained after his second round how he fixed his play on the greens after The Masters.
