Fitzpatrick opened up about his performance at the Alfred Dunhill Links Championship after the second round on Friday. Speaking to the media, the English golfer admitted that he enjoyed playing at the tournament and said (via Shepp News):

"I felt like we really enjoyed it out there. We both like the golf course, Kingsbarns. Very relaxed atmosphere. Compared to Carnoustie, you can kind of coast a little bit more. Of the three, I do like Kingsbarns. I just think that's the most enjoyable with the views, the hole designs. I like that one most. That's the only one I felt any affinity to.

"I think I said it last year, I just want to make the cut with mum and do well for the team and you never know what can happen."

The 2023 Alfred Dunhill Links championship will start with the third round on Saturday, October 7 at 9:11 a.m. GMT.
