Fitzpatrick completes big win in France to continue amazing season

Matt Fitzpatrick closed out a fourth worldwide win of the season with an impressive three-shot victory at the FedEx Open de France at Le Golf National. The world No 4 took a five-shot advantage into the final day and never relinquished control, mixing two birdies and one bogey in a final-round 70 that saw him register an 11th DP World Tour title. Fitzpatrick ended the week on 20 under and comfortably ahead of closest challenger Angel Hidalgo, who birdied three of his last five holes to card a final-round 67, while Eugenio Chacarra was among the group five back in a share of third.

How Fitzpatrick completed Open de France victory The Englishman's sizeable overnight lead was quickly reduced when Chacarra, playing in the group ahead, followed three birdies in his first four holes by adding another from 12 feet at the par-four sixth. Chacarra cancelled out a three-putt bogey from long range at the eighth by taking advantage of the par-five next, lifting him back within two of Fitzpatrick after the former US Open champion made par on every hole on his front nine.
