Watched it twice...got choked up both times with the real joy shown by everyone....great tournament all around...most compelling major I've seen for a bit...Way to go Fitzy!!!!
Amazing win for Fitzpatrick! Glad he finally got his first PGA Tour victory and major in this fashion. Can’t wait for Zalatoris to get that feeling too. He’s waited far too long.
@@derekjeetur792 And Fitzpatrick just started playing the PGA Tour full time in 2021, so his wait wasn't long either. They just expected him to win right away based on all his victories on the DP World Tour.
Matt’s bunker shot on the 18th reminded me of Sandy Lyle when he won the Masters. What I like was the genuine sportsmanship between Fitzpatrick and Zalatoris, exemplary examples to this wonderful game.
17 GIR in US OPEN on Sunday, doesn't get any better, absolute beautiful golf, VERY WELL DESERVED, 68-70-68-68 will get it done in. US OPEN. CONGRATS AND CHEERS FROM CANADA FITZY!!!
This was an incredible performance from start to finish, a well deserved win for Fitzpatrick, but i do feel for Willy Z, he was so close to making that putt on 18
I’m new to watching golf. Did it put Zalatoris at a disadvantage to let Matt Fitzpatrick go first (which took pressure off if Fitzpatrick) ? If so, then who made that decision? Was that a mistake by Zalatoris to make that decision ?
@@agua9999 u mean who gets to putt first ? On the green, the traditional rule is the farther ball (from the hole) gets to play first..hope that answers ✌️
@@agua9999 zalatoris had a slight advantage because he got to see Fitzpatrick’s putt, which would help him give a sense of how the putt is going to break or play. Hope this helps
@@aml1588 ok thanks. That makes sense. However, I was just wondering that if there’s a rule that the “farthest putt goes first”, then one would think (just by the odds) that 50% of Majors would end as it did yesterday: with the loser missing the putt. However, yesterday’s scenario seemed rare & it seems that most Majors end with the winner making the putt. (I’m a novice, so perhaps I’m just not observing it correctly)
@@agua9999 Often in the majors, one of the two guys has already played himself out of the running by the time they get to the last hole. This was an extremely rare situation.
I just recently drove Matt to an event in Oak Brook, IL. Taking him back to Olympia Fields soon. He’ll be playing there for the BMW Championship August 17-20th.
To any educated golf fan this isn’t a huge surprise. Dude is one of the best strikers of the golf ball in the game, he wears out the center of the face.
I had said and you can check out my comments, when Matt Fritzpatrick first started to play on The PGA tour he was going to win a major. I said “this kid is a player “ he is going to win a major some day and he did. Look out! This could become a habit.
Azinger in response to Fitzpatrick’s drive on 18: “What a mistake!” He said that about 5 times on air. Fitzpatrick on his bunker approach: “OK, Paul 🙄.”
Amazing performance, he struk the ball amazing, you could just hear it! What was super impressive was how he kept his composure after the two bogeys, most players would have lost it by that point, especially with their opponent playing better
Well done to Matthew and Billy Foster, what a great team👍 The Saudis can through as much money at the LIV as they want it will never match what Matthew achieved today
A Major for Matt never in doubt but at the same course as the USA Am WOW but what a guy on the bag Sir Foster !! Do not know who I am more pleased for guess both of them keep it going guys St Andrews a nice course for you and I know Sir Foster will keep your feet on the ground my prediction first of many majors could join the elite club of the grand slam !! Good luck and best wishes on another note WZ has to win one for sure.
I still want zalatoris to of winnded it. Con grats tofitz but i like zalatoris. He is going to be great ! Hes already very good but hes going to be great !! I think he needs to get rid of the butterflys and seems like hes getting better.
The golf is impressive but I find my attention frequently drawn to the gestures, outbursts and general demeanour of the US crowd, something which struck me when Mickelson won a major last year. The spectators seem to be in tensely animated anxious foment. Is a golf crowd a reflection of the stress in US society or just a clue to what's helping make it?
It's the US Open. Doesn't get much bigger than that. Of course everyone is excited. It's not because it's a 'modern' thing. Look at footage of some of the British Opens in the 70's. They literally had cops running around on the fairways trying to keep the spectators in check. And we are talking about the so-called 'reserved' British public.
@@cscoetzee : Sure, I used to notice excitement, the happily excited buzz of crowds being present at a major sporting event. That is not how I described the feeling emanating from these recent US golf crowds precisely because that was not what I was observing. I was observing in the gestures, raucous outbursts and general demeanour a sense of over-animation, something stress induced controlling the mood (not for everyone there, I'm sure, but far more than the handful of neurotics who have always turned up to plague any event and massively big enough to stand out as a distinct feature). You may argue that my observations are mistaken but I know the difference between what I'm talking about and the picture you painted.
@@indricotherium4802 OK fair enough. I wasn't there myself, just watched on TV. These days I get constantly irritated by the moronic shouts of "mashed potatoes" and "ba ba booey" etc, often starting at the top of player's backswings already.
@@cscoetzee : Not being US myself, I have to admit not knowing whether the same kind of crowd dynamic is mormal for football, baseball, etc. I've never watched those but used to watch US Opens, PGAs etc from years ago without ever being aware of observing this newer mood I've tried to describe.
Gutsy performance from Fitzpatrick. Didn't have 'A' game touch and stuck with it and didn't get too low. His approach shots landing 25-30 ft away from the hole on quite a number of greens probably wasn't what he was looking for and some of his putts went a bit far past the hole but still made pars on most of those despite not being gimme's. Looked like he was more accurate on back 9. Congrats and well deserved.
This is a world class golfer. I could see smooth brains not liking his confidence/demeanor but you can't deny his golf ability is major champion level. Bryson is a tool and you probably are too

Zalatoris is 25, he's barely waited at all tbh

I’ve waited longer for my dinner this evening
The us open isn’t a Pga tour event
Golf is the only sport where everyone cheers no matter who makes a birdie got to love it
His putt on the 13th and bunker shot on the 18th were the two decisive moments. Wow.
Matt’s bunker shot on the 18th reminded me of Sandy Lyle when he won the Masters. What I like was the genuine sportsmanship between Fitzpatrick and Zalatoris, exemplary examples to this wonderful game.
I saw Lyle's shot as well. MF's shot was a lot more difficult.
10:53 I think we can all agree that this was Matt’s defining moment in the U.S. Open
The bunker shots were better in my opinion. But that putt will go down in the golfing lore for sure
@@joshuaconovermusic1441 Don't forget about his cross handed chip in from earlier. So many dudes going to try that after today.
The only shot they will play over and over will be the bunker on 18. That shot was clutch with the open on the line... This was only hole 13.
So happy...the years of work leading to this moment. Congratulations, the approach shot from the bunker on 18...Big Boy Golf Shot.
I've been waiting a long time for Fitzy to win one! Followed him at the PGA Champ in 2019 and assassin is absolutely the right nickname for him.

Brookline is a special place. Magic always seems to happen there. What a finish and a great shoot out.
15:36 is what separates good golfers from elite ones. What a shot!

Whoever compiled this every shot final round, thank you. Very good.
that swing is money
What a lovely moment.
Quality last day. Well done Fitzpatrick 👏
So happy for Matt he's been around for a while and is a good guy that always looked like he had some big wins in him well done kid and Billy too
I'm taking notes on that bunker shot!
Congratz Matt, very well done!
Congratulations Matt Fitzpatrick!!
That swing is looking SOOOO SMOOTH, so controlled and gained a lot of distance too
Yes! I watched him play in person almost 10 years ago, and he wasn't nearly this long.
I was shocked at his length now didn't think he had it in him , great performance.
Well done to Matt Fitzpatrick, guy was just a joy to watch all the way, Brilliant Golf 👍
I'm happy for him! He seems like a good kid, and he's always been "good" but never quite broke thru, this was good to see
I just recently drove Matt to an event in Oak Brook, IL. Taking him back to Olympia Fields soon. He’ll be playing there for the BMW Championship August 17-20th.
One of the best ball striking
What a way to wrap it all up
So controlled and smooth, such a nice looking swing.
Selamat buat matt fitzpatrik
Brings tears to my eyes. Just wonderful.
He will start a craze now as lots of Golfers will start leaving the pin in lol
Welcome my son, welcome to the machine . . . Dude is a machine!
He really deserves this. Very quick tempo, almost nervous ball striking, but all solid.
To any educated golf fan this isn’t a huge surprise. Dude is one of the best strikers of the golf ball in the game, he wears out the center of the face.

Way to go matt,.,! I just realized the pin is always in the hole when he putts.
Well played.
Azinger in response to Fitzpatrick’s drive on 18: “What a mistake!” He said that about 5 times on air.

This kid has a great looking swing and love the ball flight. That slight draw.
Awesome finish! You deserve it. Congratulations and more to come ☀️☕️
Amazing performance, he struk the ball amazing, you could just hear it! What was super impressive was how he kept his composure after the two bogeys, most players would have lost it by that point, especially with their opponent playing better
He was flushing it all day and a hot putter. Well done Matt.
First major champion with braces?? Lets go Fitz!
Amazing! fair play to him
Great win.
Class to spare this one. What a cool reaction that young.
Well done to Matthew and Billy Foster, what a great team👍

Big shout out to the know-alls who said he shouldn't turn pro.
Mwaa mwhaaa mwa MWWWHHHAAA!!!
Was going for zalatoris...then after that long putt on 13 I started pulling for Fitzpatrick
I still want zalatoris to of winnded it. Con grats tofitz but i like zalatoris. He is going to be great ! Hes already very good but hes going to be great !! I think he needs to get rid of the butterflys and seems like hes getting better.
How long has Alec Baldwin been commentating on the Golf?? He's not bad, to be fair.

Gutsy performance under pressure. Well deserved !
he does not pull the pin for putts?
with my putting system zalatoris would have won with 5 shots.

golf is luck's game
What’s with all rhe shouting?
Why do American golf fans love to hear themselves on TV…..so bloody annoying.
Prime Tiger would've won this tournament by 12 shots.
Why do the Americans have such big mouths?
These announcers are awful
Without a doubt the most disappointing US Open winner ever. And yes, more disappointing than Bryson
How many majors you got?
@@Simple_Man_Golf I could ask you the same question
This is a world class golfer. I could see smooth brains not liking his confidence/demeanor but you can't deny his golf ability is major champion level. Bryson is a tool and you probably are too
Why disappointing ???
His first major and PGA tour win? So exactly the same as if zalatoris would have one 😅
It doesn't matter how you started, the main thing is how you finished.🏌️♂️⛳️🤝😉Не важно, как ты начал, главное, как ты закончил.
Да, шикарный удар из бункерв конце =)
