@@luckyspurs I won’t speak for all Americans but from what I can tell Scheffler is very boring in personality and style of play. He doesn’t seem too bright either (rarely says anything insightful, a bit like DJ). Zalatoris on the other hand is already a fan favorite because he’s been so close to winning and has some relatable quirks (especially the putting)
@@luckyspurs Scheffler is a quality young man, and has the temperament for sustained excellence. He may not give as many great interviews as other players, but you also don't get the bad drama that sometimes hurts the image of players like Rahm. But people root for players for very different reasons, which tells us as much about the fan as it does about the golfer. Some wonder how anybody can root for Tiger after he turned out to be a massive cheater. Others are all about the talent and don't care about the personality or the character. Some jump on bandwagons since they always want to back a winner (and they jump off just as quickly). Others root for the underdog (and this year's US Open gave us plenty of those). I think that Scheffler and Zalatoris will be mainstays on the tour for a long time, and they will both be appreciated.
Absolute class act. Seems a lovely lad. One of the hardest workers around by all accounts and to hit 17 GIR is a sign of a top top class player. Impeccable performance. One loose tee short down 18 and then a worldy shot out of that bunker. Great for Billy too. Could be the first of a few.
Not sure why I started rooting for him so hard as the round went on because I was all in for Rory and Scotty. He just played so solidly and I loved his toughness. Then when he hit that shot on 18 I was just WOW what a huge moment in golf history. I actually starting crying tears of joy with him as he celebrated with his family in those precious moments on 18 after he'd sealed the deal. What an incredible performance by Matt. So happy for him and his family.
Haven’t watched much golf in he last year so I’m not gonna bandwagon onto this guy now but he seems like such a good and humble person wishing him the best in the future
Great interview. Great story. He deserved his victory. Brookline played it role too producing a great story and great champion. I’m also so impressed that Jack Nicklaus called him straight after he won. A touch of class from the greatest man to ever play the game.
It’s great how Matt has improved since becoming a professional. When he won the US Amateur in 2013, he was a thin, wiry young man who looked like a primary school kid. He’s got everything he needs to be at the top for a long time, and it looks good for him winning more majors. Go Matt, The Open is coming up! So happy for Billy Foster, he totally deserves the honour of being a Major winning Caddie. I also believe that Will Zalatoris is the real deal, and he will surely win Majors and many other tournaments. He has now finished as the runner up in the US Masters, US PGA Championship and US Open!
I watched him at a few tournaments about 5 years ago, had a great team around him even then and it was interesting to see him sit and watch Rory on the practice ground. He was always willing to learn from the best to become the best.
The bravery to leave Sheffield and go to an American university to pursue your golf, as a teenager. The guy basically left his entire friendship circle and familiar surroundings behind to pursue this.
The play out of the bunker on 18 was quite outstanding; when you consider what was on the line and needing a par, so there were a couple of big shots that sealed the deal. It probably should have come down to a playoff but you have to putt your nutt, and Fitzzy kept the pedal down; which is nice.
really impressed by how genuine & articulate he sounds while talking about his performance and praising "grinding" Sheffield & his friends and family; Also sounded really discerning about his game improvement & nervousness on a few puts & strategy on the course..... One of the best & "truest" interview from a golfer , an athlete after a win. Matt, as a europeans i was kind of rooting for you (behind Rory, Jordan & Justin & and Jon :)) , but you have showed us a lot yesterday and you climbed the list :)
So good for golf; new winners, we get to see and learn new personalities and characters. Wow, five iron 220 to 18 feet. Good ad for his new training aid.
What a great interview. I really felt for him at the Ryder Cup where, on his final hole the 18th, he hit a great drive but duffed his approach to go from a half point to getting nothing at all. Now he's done this, what a great rep for GB. Well done Matt and Billy.
Top draw performance from a top class young man. Great scenes with his family and so humble. Many young players will draw inspiration from this performance. Many congrats and to Billy too what a great team.
Great win, great player being able to hit 17 out of 18 greens in reg on a final round. Will Zalatoris took the fight to him and it made for great viewing. Matt seems to be a good old down to earth Yorkshire lad, I hope he goes on to greater success and this win doesn't pile the pressure on to him as it appeared to do with Danny Willet after his Masters win a few years back.
I like him before this win because he plays fast and a bad play or round doesn’t seem get in his head. His US Amateur win at the same course, he is destined to win and he pulled off. Great accomplishment! Im happy for Billy Foster too.
Great stuff Matt, managed to answer all the “what did it feel like?” Questions with interesting answers. You are the antithesis of the photo fit Tour Pro. You didn’t get lucky on Sunday you just played sterling golf and finished in style. Look forward to seeing you bomb it at St Andrews in July.
Congratulations Matt I’m glad I watched this, seems like you gave us a great insight to you as a person rather than what we see as a golfer, great press conference ⛳️⛳️⛳️
Man I wanted him to win it so bad. When he hit that tee shot on 18 I thought he might’ve lost it right there. But then to hit the shot he did with all that pressure..... absolutely mental. What a player.
Congratulations. Excellent steady play. Great win for England! So cool your family was with you. Even a Congratulation call from the Golden Bear. It doesn't get better than that.
He definitely gave Will the line on that final putt,Will has just been a half a ball out,3 times now. Great job to Fitzpatrick, he made the necessary shots when he needed to make them
didn't know this guy, but he seems to have a big heart, he deserves the win. feel sorry for Zalatoris again, seeing him second place for four times till now. when can he win?
He played well, hit some great shots to win at the end to edge out Zalitoris and Scheffler. I like the caddy's story as well, he really was working for it at the sandtrap at the final hole.
what a refreshing interview, none of the prepackaged statements (often not even answers to the questions) we get from a lot of the other tour stars. I hope he goes on to break many records while wearing trackies and not giving a sh.....
Quality final round by Fitzy & Zalatoris. No messing about & long debates with caddies etc, just see the shot & play it. Shame their had to be a loser but well done Matt. Superb bunker shot on 18 under pressure. I’d be surprised if you don’t win more majors.
Hopefully Matt can push on and add to this. Great man, great team around him. Mentally solid. If Rory had this mans mental strength he would have a dozen majors by now.
I believe he was destined to win here, at the Country Club. When he chipped in on Thursday from just off the green, I posted that this was the shot of the tournament. I didn't know that was a prediction, too. Well done, Matt!
Sheffield is a hard city, the people are tough, we work hard to achieve. The home city of England cricket captains Michael Vaughan, Joe Root, Augusta winner David Willets, Olympic gold winner Jess Ennis now another major winner in Fitzy. 💕 Sheffield
Talented beyond belief, calm and confident on the course, and probably the most important trait in this world we now have is he is gracious, kind, and thoughtful. CHAMPION!
He’s a typical, down to earth Yorkshire lad.
Kind of crazy Sheffield has two major winners since the start of 2016.
What a humble kid. Makes it easy to root for him, even as an American. Hard work pays off!!
What's American golf fans' view of Scheffler and Zalatoris, personality wise.

Agreed, I was rooting for him to win the whole way
Right? I feel like he’s been in good form for the past few years but he just couldn’t close until yesterday!

played golf with him in the Yorkshire and England squads and have to say he has not changed one bit.... such a class act and nice lad!
ooohhh look at uuuuu

Cheers Matt, England very proud of you.💪
What a brilliant press conference. Total honesty, What a fantastic player. Congratulations and well deserved 👏👏
super impressed by this man. Was so enjoyable watching his performance on Sunday. Proper inspiration..
Well played , this guy has finally got what he has worked so hard for .
Haven’t watched much golf in he last year so I’m not gonna bandwagon onto this guy now but he seems like such a good and humble person wishing him the best in the future
Congratulations Matt. Well deserved 🇬🇧
This kid is pretty humble after winning one of the toughest major. Big congrats.
the toughest major gotta be
Europeans have class unlike the ones across the pond.
US Open is the toughest... Except Erin Hills
Congrats Matt, lovely to see someone play at a decent speed. Hate slow play 🇮🇪🇮🇪☘️☘️
Great interview. Great story. He deserved his victory.
Brookline played it role too producing a great story and great champion.

To be fair he still looks like a primary school kid.
He and Zalatoris both, but they both crush the ball. Fun to see.
I watched him at a few tournaments about 5 years ago, had a great team around him even then and it was interesting to see him sit and watch Rory on the practice ground. He was always willing to learn from the best to become the best.
how can you not absolutely like this guy, what a class act
The bravery to leave Sheffield and go to an American university to pursue your golf, as a teenager.
The guy basically left his entire friendship circle and familiar surroundings behind to pursue this.
The bunker shot on 18 will live in our memories as does Sandy Lyles bunker shot to the last green to win the Masters all those years ago!
The play out of the bunker on 18 was quite outstanding; when you consider what was on the line and needing a par, so there were a couple of big shots that sealed the deal. It probably should have come down to a playoff but you have to putt your nutt, and Fitzzy kept the pedal down; which is nice.
That bunker swing was amazing, not one ounce of doubt, pure belief and commitment.

How could anyone not be thrilled for this guy?
I’m livid
What a bloke! Knew it was going to come this year, been trending in the right direction for a few seasons now. Well done Fitzy!!!!
Damn Matt, great example Buddy. You represented great.!! I love this guys humor too.😁
Seems like a humble great guy. Very happy for him as he was due. Congrats Matt....enjoy the pints tonight!!!!!
What a great interview. I really felt for him at the Ryder Cup where, on his final hole the 18th, he hit a great drive but duffed his approach to go from a half point to getting nothing at all. Now he's done this, what a great rep for GB. Well done Matt and Billy.
I like the Fact that he Always seems to play Fast,leaves the Flagstick in n Wears Braces.....Absolute Fan Now....🏆🏌️♂️
Top draw performance from a top class young man. Great scenes with his family and so humble. Many young players will draw inspiration from this performance. Many congrats and to Billy too what a great team.
He has been staying on top of the leaderboard for months so I'm not surprised that he finally winning a Major.
THAT's what sport should be about!!
Great win, great player being able to hit 17 out of 18 greens in reg on a final round. Will Zalatoris took the fight to him and it made for great viewing. Matt seems to be a good old down to earth Yorkshire lad, I hope he goes on to greater success and this win doesn't pile the pressure on to him as it appeared to do with Danny Willet after his Masters win a few years back.
he's so Yorkshire, He used to carry half a hundred weight of hovis down back fromt mill when e were a lad

Agree - this guy hit 17 of 18 greens in the final round of the U.S Open. He was dialed in big time.
Congratulations Matt I’m glad I watched this, seems like you gave us a great insight to you as a person rather than what we see as a golfer, great press conference ⛳️⛳️⛳️
Im really happy that Matt has finally got what he has worked so hard for . Hopefully the first of many .

Yeah That shot from the bunker was phenomenally amazing.
Really Happy for this young man. Tough hard working, nuff said!
Congratulations. Excellent steady play. Great win for England! So cool your family was with you. Even a Congratulation call from the Golden Bear. It doesn't get better than that.
Some of the nicest people you’ll meet are from Sheffield,straight forward and you know where you stand!
What an absolute rock star!!!! So humble... Champ
Nice to see someone so genuinely happy, one for the good guys, well done Matt, delighted for you, Billy and your families
Many more majors to come fitzy you’re doing Sheffield proud mate 👊🏻
Well done Matt....a magical performance. 👍🏌♂️
Great job Matthew, you are breath of fresh air
Stay as you are Matt. Let nothing and nobody change who you are. Top bloke.
He definitely gave Will the line on that final putt,Will has just been a half a ball out,3 times now. Great job to Fitzpatrick, he made the necessary shots when he needed to make them

Seems like a winner
What a guy! So pleased for him and Billy. I’m sure he has more in him.
BRILLIANT !! Well done Matt.
Legend fair play mate
Brilliant!!! Well done Matt!!!
yes matty man yes
What a fantastic final round ...Matt was amazing , some of the shots he hit in the closing holes where simply magnificent !!!
He played well, hit some great shots to win at the end to edge out Zalitoris and Scheffler. I like the caddy's story as well, he really was working for it at the sandtrap at the final hole.
absolutely delighted for Matt,the first of many .
Tireless work ethic.... he's gained like 30 yards off the tee since turning pro... hungry... so happy for him.
what a refreshing interview, none of the prepackaged statements (often not even answers to the questions) we get from a lot of the other tour stars. I hope he goes on to break many records while wearing trackies and not giving a sh.....
Congratulations Matthew, life changing win. Stay focused, do the open at St. Andrews, this is your year. Harzar.
Quality final round by Fitzy & Zalatoris. No messing about & long debates with caddies etc, just see the shot & play it. Shame their had to be a loser but well done Matt. Superb bunker shot on 18 under pressure. I’d be surprised if you don’t win more majors.
True golf legacy , never about the money , top man
Congrats, U.S. Open Champion Matt Fitzpatrick!
Well done Matt, proud of you.
Great ambassador for the UK.
His brother hugged Billy before Matt on the 18th hole..Billy waited 40 years for this major so happy for both
Obviously you don’t understand!
@@landahoy5217 I understand…his brother is really close with Billy
@@Yepperpepper seems like you understand
One of the most brutally honest guys on Tour…I am intrigued by LIV Golf, but no way on earth that their “product” competes with this theatre!!
Nerves were not a problem for Matt. Well done son!!
Hopefully Matt can push on and add to this. Great man, great team around him. Mentally solid. If Rory had this mans mental strength he would have a dozen majors by now.
A great champion and humble with it
Congratulations, incredible accomplishment!!
I lived in Sheffield, and to know that one of the greatest players of all time grew up there is quite cool.
He proved that not only the muscles guys can win.
So down to earth, what a refreshing change
Great battle down the stretch
Well done matt well deserved after all the years of putting in the hard work 👍🏻
U played well u played brilliant great win Matt
What a boss!
Just a gem of a mate. Pints are flowing tonight I bet.
I believe he was destined to win here, at the Country Club. When he chipped in on Thursday from just off the green, I posted that this was the shot of the tournament. I didn't know that was a prediction, too. Well done, Matt!
Top topman. Very well done.
Sheffield is a hard city, the people are tough, we work hard to achieve. The home city of England cricket captains Michael Vaughan, Joe Root, Augusta winner David Willets, Olympic gold winner Jess Ennis now another major winner in Fitzy. 💕 Sheffield
What a fella,fantastic battle with Zalatoris and Schauffle.
Such a class act!
Excellent!
You can't help but like everything about, Matt!!.... Just don't let NIKE come along and sponsor you!
Like that he mentions fortunate bounces and luck of the ball sometimes, which can be the small advantage needed to win at times
Great guy, great champion.
Sheffield is a nice tree lined .. industrial revolution ...city with a touch of Pittsburgh and Michael Palin and Sean Bean🙂
Proper Yorkshire lad. Congrats FITZY!!
Great kid, will win a bunch
Well done fitz!!!!!!!
Bunker shot on 18 is one of the most clutch shots ever !
Great interview, great guy.
What an effort! Great stuff.
17 GIR in a US Open is beyond insane.
Incredible win
Talented beyond belief, calm and confident on the course, and probably the most important trait in this world we now have is he is gracious, kind, and thoughtful. CHAMPION!
He took the win. That’s the way you like to see it happen. No one backed into him. He took it.
Great result and well spoken.
Congratulations Matt :)
