Defining Ryder Cup Moment

After failing to earn a single point in his first two Ryder Cup appearances (2016 and 2021), Fitzpatrick's moment of redemption came at the 2023 Ryder Cup in Rome. In the Sunday Singles, he faced Max Homa in a crucial match. On the 18th hole, Fitzpatrick hit a superb approach shot to secure the victory, finally capturing his first full Ryder Cup point and shedding the weight of past performances in an emotional and significant win.
