Alex Fitzpatrick perfectly summarized his 7-over 77 in the final round at The Open.<\/p>\n
\u201cIt was crap. No two ways about it,\u201d he told reporters on Sunday at Royal Birkdale. \u201cMy putting was woeful. I thought some of the pins yesterday were terrible, just brutally honest. And, yeah, mixed with me not playing very good at all, that\u2019s what it is.\u201d<\/p>\n
Fitzpatrick said he\u2019ll play in the Wyndham Championship in August but plans to skip the 3M Open and the Rocket Classic.<\/p>\n
\u201cWent to school nearby,\u201d said the Wake Forest grad. \u201cExcited for the event, but more excited for two weeks off.\u201d<\/p>\n
Since joining the Tour in April, the younger brother of Matt Fitzpatrick has collected five T-10 finishes. <\/p>\n
The 27-year-old Fitzpatrick said he was frustrated but wouldn\u2019t let it carry over the rest of the season.<\/p>\n
\u201cI\u2019ll go home, and I\u2019ll be upset or disappointed for another hour or so, and I think it will kick in again of just how crazy this year has been,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Alex Fitzpatrick perfectly summarized his 7-over 77 in the final round at The Open. \u201cIt was crap.
