Matthew Fitzpatrick

[JJBlade]

Delighted for them all, but for Matt in particular.
Boxing and Cricket stars come from a fairly small pool.
There's probably only between three and five boxers is any weight division that can be world champion, but then again they do have to become one of those three or five in the first place.

Because of the type of game golf is, there are a thousand golfers at least who on their day can qualify and win a Golf Major. Even amateurs

To stay within the top 100 world golfers is a massive achievement because of the number of golfers that are more than capable of winning tournaments

I wondered where Matt was born and what part of Sheffield he lived in?

He went to Tapton I think and played at Hallamshire so up that way I would assume.

He did, I also played Tennis with him at Hallam Grange but had no idea he was into golf!

Wednesday would have taken more to see him play the back 18 if he was an owl so... doesn't really count.

I see the area now. Thanks.

Back 18? How big's the course?

 

[Trigger Blade]

Bet pigs love reading that

Those achievements won’t get a mention on Porktalk and if they did, there’d be a reason to belittle them.

 

[Balham]

Back 18? How big's the course?

Massive.

Did the fact he served with a Calloway and yelled "fore" not give it away..?

3000 ?

 

[K1 flabby stick]

Joins Jack Nicholas as the only 2 golfers to ever have won the US amateur and US Opens...what an achievement !

At the same venue, Nicklaus at Pebble Beach, Fitz at Brookline (obvs). 11 others at different venues.

 

[Sparky The Blade]

Incredible. Best 4 days of tournament golf that I’ve ever seen.

Surely served with a Ping would have been better??

Cracking post win interview very measured and as down to earth as they come - Brilliant and a Blade to boot Get in !!

Solid gold?? Who do you work for? Bank of England?

 

[Ted Striker]

Feel so proud of him, he comes across as such a nice down to earth bloke. I love it that he references being a Blade at every opportunity. Think both him and Joe Root really shine a good light on our club, both hugely talented but humble and genuine. They were never going to be Wednesday fans!

If Matt had been a pig he would never have hit the bunker on the last hole, chipped onto the green within 6 inches of the hole, got a birdie and won by 2 shots………… if Carling did Wednesdayites !!

Amazing win for Fitzy last night,played fantastic and some real clutch shots on 15 and especially 18 to get the win,I have to admit I had tears of joy and to win £330 made it even better️

 

[diode_blade]

He's a good un, sheffielder, a blade, and to upset shoutbox users, a mini stickball hitter.
Absolutely superb performance.
Matt can be proud, so can us the Steel city.

Wonder if he might fumble the trophy of the top deck of the bus.

Really was fantastic. Put a huge smile on my face and gave me a very big lift for today mentally wise, and will do for the rest of the week

 

[Willie Carlin]

Toffs game golf

I play mate and I can assure you I’m far from posh!!

 

[Broomhall Blade]

They are waiting for the ginger fella to return to coronation street to top us

Oh no they are not apparently someone asked if they had any celebrities that supported them. One of them came up with this little list Michael Vaughn Former England Test Captain of the 2005 Ashes Side, David Blunkett Former MP, The Late Joe Ashton MP and Rick Savage Drummer of Rock Legends ' Def Leppard '.

Oh and the customary side splitting comments when we are naming a stand after him.

Even their 'celebrities' are all from the distant past!

 

[Mojo]

That Dalton Smith has got potential to be the most famous pig fan but he has got some way to go yet to even reach Kell Brook level. I suppose they could say Arctic Monkeys are pigs. But no doubt about it blades are a class above

My lad backed him JB and won £250 he was well chuffed

 

[More Bladier than thou]

Few more majors and he can afford to buy us. Now that would be something....

 

[Hull Blade]

I hope he comes down BDTBL for the 1st home game and does a lap of honour holding trophy.

 

[South Sea Blade]

They couldn't even get that right - Rick Allan is the drummer in Def Leppard.........Also, including a dead MP who nobody outside of this area has heard of is really scraping the barrel.

 

[Blackheath Blade]

I hope he comes down BDTBL for the 1st home game and does a lap of honour holding trophy.

The way he's playing Hull Blade, I wouldn't be surprised if he's parading the US Open trophy and the Claret Jug.

 

[Bath Blade]

Bet pigs love reading that

To be fair to them, they’ve got their own famous fans as well. What is Roy Hattersley doing these days?
