VIRGINIA WATER, England – For all the brilliant shots in his round, Matt Fitzpatrick couldn't help but return to the only bad swing he made as the Englishman threw away the outright second-round lead on his last hole at the BMW PGA Championship on Friday.
Fitzpatrick was 9 under through 17 holes and enjoying one of the great rounds on Wentworth's storied West Course when he sent his approach at No. 8 left. The ball went into the trees, rebounded out, and dropped into the water.
He wound up with a double-bogey 6 for a 7-under 65, leaving him tied for the lead with Shane Lowry (65) at 12-under overall at the European Tour's signature event.
