“That might be one of my lowest rounds ever” - Matt Fitzpatrick on his amazing victory at the Alfred Dunhill Links Championship 

Matt Fitzpatrick carded 6-under 66 in the third round of the Alfred Dunhill Links Championship, beating Matthew Southgate, Marcus Armitage, and defending champion Ryan Fox by a three-stroke margin.

The third round of the Alfred Dunhill Links Championship took place on Monday, October 9, after two days were washed out due to heavy rain and storms all over Scotland. Fitzpatrick aggregated at 19-under as the tournament event was cut short to 54 holes.

At the post-round interview on Monday, Fitzpatrick reflected on his performance at the Alfred Dunhill Links Championship.

He said, as per the Herald.

"That might be one of my lowest rounds ever here, if not the lowest"

"Winning is difficult. I had a chance in Switzerland (Omega European Masters) a few weeks ago and that one hurt a lot. But it doesn’t get much better than winning at St Andrews."

The 29-year-old Englishman had his mother Susan alongside him as his partner in a Pro-Am. Despite struggling with her knee, she helped the duo win the Pro-Am. Fitzpatrick jokingly compared his mom's victory to Tiger Woods' knee struggles.

He also said:

"There’s only one other person I know who's won a big tournament on one leg and that’s Tiger Woods. The likeness is uncanny. Tiger’s leg was obviously broken but my mum hasn’t got any cartilage in her knee, so she did amazingly well."
