Matt Fitzpatrick was playing like the number one player in the world before the PGA Championship.
He'd won three times in just over a month, including back-to-back wins at the RBC Heritage and the Zurich Classic, and was among the leading contenders heading into Aronimink, where he hoped to claim his second major championship.
But for a few weeks, Fitzpatrick went off the boil. He didn't contend at the PGA, and he was T36 in an anonymous week at the Memorial Tournament. Fitzpatrick has won more than anyone else on the PGA Tour this year, but his momentum looked to have stalled.
That was until he turned up at TPC Toronto for the Canadian Open. Suddenly, the Sheffield-born star was back to his best, and he finished in solo second the week before the US Open. According to Fitzpatrick, that's because of a recent breakthrough he made on the range.
Fitzpatrick recently had to undergo the nightmare of finding a new driver, after the club he had so much success with earlier in the year cracked. That's what he is partly attributing to his slight downturn in form.
