That bunker shot on the 18th is reminiscent of Sandy Lyle at The Masters 1988. Will be talked about for years to come. Well done Matt!

Great achievement...the nearly man gets over the line & a big well done . What a final round composure and belief to hold off challenges ...again a well done to the R.Mc , another crazy round ...any one else think this is the modern Seve , such brilliance and excitement and yet never quite there.
Well done though to US open winner Matt Fitzpatrick .Comment posted by The Belly Putter, today at 23:59
Great final round.
Well done Matt, feel a bit for Zalatoris but his time will come.

Well done Fitzpatrick, deserved it after those long putts and bunker shot on 18. Even though I had money on Zalatoris I can't be too annoyed.
People downvoted me yesterday when I said I thought Matsuyama might contend from 6 back. For a couple of holes the dream was almost alive, so it's nice to be vindicated.

Fantastic Tournament, always great to see a Brit win a major!
Kudos too to Zalatoris, fantastic comeback after his PGA heartbreak last month!

You could tell Fitzpatrick all week knew he could win this and occasionally frustrated because he knew he could do it. Love that mentality congratulations. Rory, Fitzpatrick and Rahm and we can win back the Ryder Cup.
