Matt Fitzpatrick was lost for words after claiming his maiden major title with a sensational victory at the US Open
Matthew Fitzpatrick described the feeling of securing his maiden major victory at the US Open as "out of this world" as he edged out Will Zalatoris and world No 1 Scottie Scheffler by one shot in a thrilling final round at Brookline.
Fitzpatrick also won the 2013 US Amateur at The Country Club, and such fond memories as well as a familiarity with the course helped cement a belief that "this could be the time".
Fitzpatrick shot a two-under 68 on the final day, birdieing two of his last five holes to celebrate a first success on American soil as a professional and become only the fourth Englishman in the last century to win the US Open.

Having claimed his first major title, Fitzpatrick couldn't help but reference his favourite football team

Fitzpatrick is an avid Sheffield United fan and believes his mentality compares with his hometown club.
He said: "I feel like I'm the same deal - not expected to do well, not expected to succeed.

Winning US Opens are always so difficult because the golf course tries to beat you up. Matt has played well for a long time. It didn't happen for him at the PGA Championship. Another opportunity comes your way, but you're not guaranteed to close the deal, no matter how good you are.
The combination of his calmness, his ball-striking - he only missed one green - and his caddy Billy Foster got them over the line. It was a fantastic final round.
Matt is a phlegmatic golfer. I find myself watching him, screaming at the television most of the time, because he can roll it in from 75 feet and the crowd go mad, but he's deadpan, there's no reaction. You saw what Matt Fitzpatrick is after he won and got his business concluded. He was fantastic in his interviews.
That second shot he hit into the last hole took me back to Sandy Lyle in 1988 at the Masters when he clipped one onto the green and holed it for a birdie. That shot Matt hit from the bunker was world class.
You've got to think the way Matt plays, he's got a flatter ball flight than most and when you put that together with links golf, St Andrews is going to fit his eye really well.
Matt Fitzpatrick holed a bunker shot on the last to beat Will Zalatoris and Scottie Scheffler by one stroke at Brookline. The Englishman described his victory as "out of this world" and said he wanted to win more majors.
