Matt Fitzpatrick reveals what happened with his coach three days before Valspar win
A delighted Fitzpatrick spoke to reporters immediately after his win at the Valspar Championship on Sunday.
The Englishman was asked by one reporter what part of his game has improved the most over the past year or so.
“There’s a big difference in my approach play,“ Fitzpatrick admitted.
“Me and Mark Blackburn had a great session last Thursday afternoon after the round, a really, really good session that felt like really, really helped me.
“It’s made a big difference over the last seven rounds of golf I’ve played. I hit my irons really well. I know going into today I think I was first in approach play for the first three rounds.
“I don’t know where I ended up finishing, but that’s a big difference from where I’ve come from in the past.
“I always felt like short game’s been good enough, felt like my driving’s always been good enough and putting’s been good enough.
“So approach play always felt like it was the missing link. So far this year it’s been really good and last year it was really good as well. So just about continuing that and keep improving as much as I can and giving myself more opportunities.“
Matt Fitzpatrick’s coach, Mark Blackburn, raved about his iron play just a few days ago, and all of his hard work has now come to fruition.
