PGA Tour : Valspar Championship Leaderboard Results
Since their Ryder Cup triumph last September at a very vulgar Bethpage, there have been wins for Rory, then Rosey, now it is time for Fitzy.
Last week Matt Fitzpatrick began Sunday 5 shots behind and was a shot ahead ay the Players on the 17th tee, then lost it to Cam Young on the 18th. Despite a $2,000,000+ pay day the loss stung.
This week he began Sunday 3 shots behind front runner Sungjae Im, with popular veteran Brandt Snedeker turning back the clock right in the mix.
Well, it turned out Im couldn't make a putt, shot 74 to T7, Snedeker said he lost his game on the back nine 40, blew up to 76 T18.
Fitzy continued his fine form, 68 69 68 68 -11 good enough to edge world traveller David Lipsky 69 65 70 70 -10 with DP World Tour star Jordan Smith 3rd with 69 68 72 66 -9.
Matthew now has 3 PGA Tour wins including the US Open, and 9 more in Europe, he moves to #6 in the owgr, and will rejoin his Ryder Cup pals at Augusta with Rory #2, Tommy #4, Fitzy #6 and Rosy #7.
