Big names, fairway bunker on final hole couldn't separate Matt Fitzpatrick from US Open history | Opinion

BROOKLINE, Mass. — One by one they surged near the top of the leaderboard in the chill of a raw, gray Sunday, only to fall back, unable to catch the uncatchable man at the 2022 U.S. Open.

Matt Fitzpatrick and The Country Club have quite a history, and nothing was going to separate them from each other, not Will Zalatoris, not Scottie Scheffler, not Hideki Matsuyama, not Rory McIlroy.
