Matt Fitzpatrick Trails World No. 1 at 2025 British Open

Matt Fitzpatrick has emerged as one of the most consistent golfers globally, particularly highlighted by his strong performance at the 2025 British Open in Portrush, where he shot a six-under-par 66 on the second day to reach nine-under and stand just one shot behind World No. 1 Scottie Scheffler. This resurgence follows a challenging 2024 and a difficult start in early 2025, after which Fitzpatrick made key changes including switching coaches and leaving his caddie. A 2022 U.S. Open champion, Fitzpatrick has played in every major since 2016 with only seven missed cuts, maintaining steady performances across all majors and excelling especially at the U.S. Open and the Masters. His career highlights include a one-shot victory at the 2022 U.S. Open and multiple top-five and top-eight finishes at the PGA Championship, despite some struggles there. His consistent ability to contend in majors, combined with recent top-10 finishes, positions him as a serious contender to add another major title to his resume at the British Open. Fitzpatrick aims to capitalize on his current form to secure a win and further cement his status among golf's elite.
