Impact Fitzpatrick was looking to bounce back from his missed cut at last week's Genesis Scottish Open. He looked good early on at Royal Birkdale and entered the weekend at four-under, but that's where his good fortunes ended. He posted a three-over 73 score Saturday and completely unravelled Sunday with a seven-over 77 with eight bogeys and one birdie. Fitzpatrick actually ranked ninth in SG: Tee-to-Green and in the top-35 in SG: Off-the-Tee, Approach and Around. However, he was dreadful when he got on the green and lost a staggering 10.03 strokes with his putter, with 6.74 of those lost strokes coming in the final round alone. Fitzpatrick's season has still been one of the feel-good stories of the year, but you have to wonder whether he's cooled off following his two weeks in the United Kingdom. He will not participate in the 3M Open next week.
