NU alum Matt Fitzpatrick fends off Jordan Spieth to win at Harbour Town

If Matt Fitzpatrick didn’t already love his 9-iron, he certainly does now. The club helped the Englishman win the 2022 U.S. Open at The Country Club, finessing a miraculous shot from the left fairway bunker on the 18th hole to secure his first win on the PGA Tour.

On Sunday, Fitzpatrick’s 9-iron proved the difference again with a marvelous pin-seeking shot to within a foot, sealing the victory for the former Northwestern standout after three playoff holes.

One of the most clutch shots in @RBC_heritage HISTORY by Matt Fitzpatrick on the third playoff hole.
