Matt Fitzpatrick DELIVERS in dramatic fashion on Sunday | Round 4 | Valspar Championship | 2026

Dogleg sweeping right to left. Fitzpatrick was in the bunker with his second out to hear this for par. OK, Papa start needed that one to go in. Fitzpatrick after another good tee shot. The first really good iron swing of the day for Fitzy. You make a three at three. You're definitely picking up against the field. And Fitzpatrick. Needs it. And gets it. That was good, so it's not a great start, but right there 100% and you can take it more the center of the green. Let the wind work it. Aggressive swing boy, I think you can went right underneath that. Just about anybody's game right now. Certainly these names we just saw Fitzpatrick one of them. He's been brilliant out of the sand this week. You saw that stat 8 to 9 and players repeatedly saying this new sand is making it very difficult to stop the ball quickly and that one got away from him. Very difficult putt here. Really good. Made that look easy. And this is Fitzpatrick with a four iron off the long par 3 8th. Opportunity here to hit some good golf shots with the wind helping it blow over to this left pin. See two beauties right there, wow. Fitzpatrick whole high from about 6 feet for birdie. Fitzpatrick hit a beauty in here at 8. It's so many of those over the last two weeks in that range. Ever dreamed that one on this? Just feared left on him. Still three. A good score at the 8th Fitzpatrick remains one under most likely it plugs if it lands in that into the breeze like this and up the Hill. Sound like a good strike on a very good line. Right at it, or he has been so good with his iron plate this week. He's missed some real opportunities. These last couple of holes to break away from the pack. 3rd here for Fitzpatrick. See how I can control it out of this rough. Yeah, judged it well. Back, I mean, those save for Matt's going to stay at one under on the day. All pars that birdie coming back at the 3rd. It's been a pin high machine here, but that one took a big hop there and down into the trampled grass. There's that cross hand for Fitzpatrick. Just off the green. It's awful looking lie right there, wasn't it? What touch? Look how fast that is. Green is less green than. Part 315 seven birdies here. 174 playing much shorter downwind downhill. Good looking shot here with a 9 iron. That's the difference Terry. Hole high and it's so much firmer than the very front of this green, but a beautiful strike there. 15 we go. One of the co-leaders Fitzpatrick on the way for Birdie. Let me find a way to make one. This park there Fitzpatrick was just a matter of time. He said it's so close and makes a big one here. That looked good from the start. 30 footer right here. You see that little up the hill. At the players championships crazy how this whole theme is kind of continuing. That was 5 word for Fitzpatrick. Boy, he loves it. It's on a good line long as it sits down a little bit. He gave that a big twirl Woody. Well, that is perfect. Absolutely perfect. What a shot we've had this wind all day. He's kind of hit cuts to hold it up against it. And that's exactly what he's trying to do. Again, this is a good looking shot. Another club twirl. I'll just pitched about 3 yards short of landing on the green and didn't go anywhere, but fortunate enough to get into the first cut. Yeah, love this one in the air. It's just continuing this steady play that we saw all last week at the players championship. Boy, good looking shot. Best we've seen at 17 sure was what a shape to hit that shot. It took enough time to get decisive over the ball. Now a real chance for a birdie here. Had to look so good until that last moment and he went down to his knees as this thing crossed the front of the hole there. Watch his reaction. It looks so good. To his knees. Taking it low and this is right down the middle. Absolutely perfect tee shot. He's not even watching him. He knows when he touches it where it's going. 119 total uphill plays about 125. That's just a comfortable shot. Pitching wedge for Matt. Right in the hole. He's to stay there. OK, stayed on the same level as the hole. Have a nice look uphill right to the left. Get it done this week. It forces Lipski to make a birdie from the rough behind him. All 6869 on Friday and probably the clutcher. Love that emotion out of Maddie Fitz. What a heck of a part and come back after last week. And Fitzpatrick has the win at the Valspar Championship a week after the disappointment at the players. The wait will continue on the PGA Tour for a win on this tour for Lipski, but he battled to the 72nd hole and that's a happy duo right there after last week's disappointment. Fitzpatrick comes right back the next week. And to the 72nd hole, takes it after the runner up position last week. Well, Dan, I'm alongside our champion here at the Valspar Championship. Matt Fitzpatrick last week. Matt told me you were really frustrated walking off the green on Sunday. How were you able to channel that frustration into the win here today? Yeah, I think the big thing was I felt like I was playing well. You know I was playing well going into this week. You know I obviously wanted to continue that and I felt like I had confidence in myself to do so. And then obviously to sort of, you know, do that over four rounds was was special this week. Have to ask you about the big putt on 1813 feet for Birdie in 11 previous times in competition you've never made Birdie on 18. How are you able to get that one? On that whole specifically on 18, sorry. Yeah, I'll be honest, it wasn't. It wasn't an ideal putt that I felt like I it was a nice right to left of us. But me and my putting coach Phil have been working on trying to have less acceleration in my stroke and it comes out more on the uphill as so. I wouldn't say I was overly keen on it, given my putting performance today, but yeah, to get it to get it done like that was was special. Speaking of special, you had the opportunity to have a couple of special conversations before you came up here, one with your wife, Catherine, the other with your parents. What do they have to say? Yeah, yeah, obviously both both both. You know, so so excited. I've not not seen Catherine for three weeks, so I'm so excited to get back and see her and pet my parents are coming out in a week or so as well so. Yeah, it's just that it's just such special special people in my lives and. Yeah, just just so excited to share this with them. Congratulations, plenty to celebrate your first win since the 2023 RBC heritage and we're looking forward to seeing you back on the golf course very soon. Thank you. Thanks care.
