Player Overview
Matt Fitzpatrick is a U.S. Open champion and one of the most precise ball-strikers on tour despite being one of the shorter hitters in the elite tier. The Sheffield, England native won the 2022 U.S. Open at Brookline, proving that precision and course management can overcome a lack of raw power. Fitzpatrick's game revolves around elite approach play and strong short game — he consistently ranks among the tour leaders in strokes gained approach and around the green. His driving distance remains a limitation, but he has worked to add yardage in recent seasons. Fitzpatrick excels at courses that reward accuracy over distance, making him a specialist play in DFS rather than a universal option.
