In an interview with the media, he revealed how he felt during the fierce battle with Rory McIlroy until the very end. The popular golfer points out that playing a Northern Irish golfer always brings extra nerves, but he wanted to stay focused on his game, knowing he could take advantage of such a moment.
I know everyone knows the ability of Rory McIlroy. The shot that he hit into 18 in regulation, you just know full well hes going to make that putt as well.
So I was gearing myself up for a playoff and at least going down to start again, starting from scratch, youve just got to see what happens and go with it.
Obviously its not the ideal way to end, I would assume he would say the same thing, it was a bit of a pillow fight there. But obviously its been a great week.- Fitzpatrick said.
