The youth movement is definitely underway in the sport of golf with the likes of Jordan Spieth, Rory McIlroy, Jason Day and Rickie Fowler emerging as the new faces of the sport. Representing the British side of things is Matthew Fitzpatrick, who recently captured his breakthrough victory on the European Tour at the British Masters hosted by Ian Poulter.
Fitzpatrick had a great amateur career, winning the 2012 Boys Amateur Championship as well as the Silver Medal at the 2013 Open Championship. He also won the 2013 U.S. Amateur, which took him to the top of the World Amateur Golf Rankings, earning him the Mark H. McCormack Medal. He then attended school at Northwestern University, Luke Donald’s alma mater, for one semester before deciding to turn professional. In the video above, watch as Golfing World catches up with Fitzpatrick before his maiden victory.
