Matt Fitzpatrick
Matt Fitzpatrick is one of the most detail-oriented players the game has ever seen. As documented in the Netflix documentary series “Full Swing”, Fitzpatrick has tracked every shot he has hit from both practice and tournament rounds since his junior golf days. Clearly, the method has worked for Fitzpatrick. The most recent example being his win at the 2023 RBC Heritage.
During the final round, Fitzpatrick went shot for shot with Jordan Spieth and Patrick Cantlay -- the duo that made up the playoff at last year's RBC Heritage. At the end of regulation, it was Fitzpatrick and Spieth tied at 17-under-par -- prompting a playoff. After pars on each of the first two holes for both players, Fitzpatrick stood in the fairway 186 yards away on the third playoff hole. With the wind behind him, he hit a high, towering fade with his 9-iron that landed softly and trickled to a mere foot from the pin, securing a tap-in birdie and the win.
