The 27-year-old Englishman won with a shot ahead of Scheffler and Zalatoris. Only 13 had managed to win both amateurs and professionals
A legendary feat in Brookline, Massachusetts: Matt Fitzpatrick, 27, English from Sheffield, won the US Open with an advantage over Americans Scottie Scheffler and Will Zalatoris: his final score -6 (68, 70, 68 , 68). Success came at the end of a long day in which the three protagonists took turns in the lead in an exciting whirlwind of birdies and super shots. With this victory Fitzpatrick entered the club of the winners of a major: until yesterday he had never won in America even if he could boast 7 successes on the European Tour. Fitzpatrick had already won the Us Amateur in 2013 right on the field of the Brookline Country Club where yesterday he repeated the success of nine years earlier. In history there have been 13 to make the brace, but only one player was able to win the two US Open – amateurs and professionals – on the same path: Jack Nicklaus at Pebble Beach. To report the excellent last lap of Guido Migliozzi: a -4 of the day (66 strokes) that allowed him to close the tournament in 14th position with a total +2.
