Well done to Sheffield’s Matt Fitzpatrick for winning the US Open on Sunday. I’ve always admired his deft touching on the putting greens but it was his superlative long game skills that came to the fore on the last day. He joins Justin Rose and Tony Jacklin as the only English winners since Cyril Walker in 1924. The event was played at Brookline GC, where he won the US Amateur in 2013.
Back here at Hale, we have ladies competitions coming up on Thursday, a Nine and Dine event on Friday and the men’s Medal 4 is taking place on Friday & Saturday. Plus the Pro Shop Open Sweepstake has just commenced….
