Despite becoming only the second Englishman to win the U.S. Open since 1970, Matt Fitzpatrick was left off the shortlist for BBC's Sports Personality of the Year award.
And many have taken issue with that.
Last month, The Telegraph reported Fitzpatrick, 28, would decline an invite to the award ceremony, even if he was nominated, as the award has not favored golfers in the past.
The last golfer to win the award was Nick Faldo in 1989, the year in which he won his first of three Masters.
