LOS ANGELES : The shock merger between the PGA Tour and the rival LIV circuit has left a confusing path forward for golfers, England's Matthew Fitzpatrick said on Monday as he prepared to defend his U.S. Open title.
Fitzpatrick delivered an extraordinary performance last year to claim his maiden major title in Brookline, Massachusetts, where he won 2013 U.S. Amateur, but said the ongoing drama was harder to ignore this time around. "It was obviously different because I had the tie to the golf course and the history there, so probably was easier for me to mentally focus on that and be in a better place than obviously all this confusion that's going on this week."
Asked if he believed he should be compensated in some way for not going to the LIV tour, Fitzpatrick let out a sigh and let the question hang in the air for several seconds before responding:"Yeah, pass."
