JAKARTA - A surprise was created by British golfer Matt Fitzpatrick last June. He successfully won the prestigious tournament, the US Open 2022.
The 28-year-old golfer won his first major golf tournament at Brookline after defeating Masters champions Scottie Scheffler and Will Zallatoris. Overall, he only won by one blow.
After a few months, Fitzpatrick then told how it was that he became the champion of the US Open 2022. He said the success felt 10 million times greater than he imagined.
"It was 10 million times better than I thought after winning a major tournament. It was very useful," Fitzpatrick told the BBC.
Fitzpatrick admitted that his feelings were mixed after recording the success of his first winner. He felt a strange thing at that time.
"I did it and it felt like 'perfect already, okay, we try to win more' but at the same time it feels like 'OK, I've done it now, why should I do it again?' he said as quoted by Antara via AFP, Monday, December 26.
He then consulted with several people regarding what he felt. He finally understood what he felt turned out to be a very common nature after achieving success.
"I've always pushed hard on myself, people say you're too harsh on yourself and I might be like that," Fitzpatrick said.
"But it all led to the moment of winning a big championship. The first few weeks after that were just like joy and everything was incredible, problems were solved, and you had to get up to do it again," he concluded.
