The World no.18 is the second player to win both the U.S. Amateur and the U.S. Open at the same venue.

The challenging par-70 course didn’t make the victory easy for Fitzpatrick but his performance on the first three rounds secured his lead.

There were plenty of tears for the Fitzpatrick family, who were there to share the monumental moment.

To make it even more special, it was also Father’s Day, with Fitzpatrick sharing the special moment with his dad.
