A thrilling weekend of golf culminated with a surprise United States Open champion fending off both veterans and younger players alike. 27-year-old Matt Fitzpatrick dazzled on Sunday, outlasting several strong contenders like John Rahm and Scott Scheffler. But it was Will Zalatoris who's hunger for his first major proved the last opponent standing. Fitzpatrick played near flawless golf, hitting every green and ensuring success with a great shot on 18. Zalatoris had a long-shot birdie putt that missed by an inch and Fitzpatrick won his first tournament in the Americas, and his first major. Consistency was the Englishman's calling card all weekend, with a 68-70-68-68 to finish 6-under par. An effort more than worthy of Sportsman of the Week!
