Matt Fitzpatrick<\/a> returned to the driver that brought him success earlier this year as he claimed his latest piece of silverware at the FedEx Open de France<\/a>.<\/p>\n

The Englishman won PGA Tour titles at the Valspar Championship, RBC Heritage and Zurich Classic of New Orleans across March and April, using a Titleist GT3.<\/p>\n

Known as one of the most analytical players, and in his search for continued improvements, he later changed to a Ping G430 LST ahead of appearances at the Genesis Scottish Open and The Open.<\/p>\n

But, ahead of Continental Europe’s oldest national open, he reverted to using the Titleist GT3 driver at Le Golf National as he completed a three-shot victory on Sunday.<\/p>\n

“I’ve been doing a little bit more work on the driver,” said Fitzpatrick after a second-round 64 saw him claim the halfway lead.<\/p>\n

“So went back to the old setup with my driver I started the year with and took a few issues in the middle of the year that were sort of off-putting a little bit, I guess.<\/p>\n

“I just feel a bit more comfortable with that, for one, and then just being able to sort of play my normal game with the rest [of his bag].”<\/p>\n

Depending on course setup and conditions, Fitzpatrick switches between using a three or four iron. At the BMW PGA Championship, he had the four iron in his bag but that was replaced with a Ping i210 three iron in France.<\/p>\n

An equipment-free agent, the 2022 U.S. Open winner also plays with a TaylorMade Qi35 three wood and five wood, a full set of Titleist Vokey wedges and a Bettinardi prototype putter.<\/p>\n

Fitzpatrick topped the standings for scrambling, scoring par or better on 22 of the 24 occasions that he missed the green in regulation, while he was fourth for Strokes Gained: Putting across the week as he picked up 1.91 shots on the field.<\/p>\n

He uses a 2019 edition of the Titleist Pro V1 X ball, designed for faster ball speeds.<\/p>\n
