THE 150TH OPEN

Matt Fitzpatrick

Mixed Zone

Q. Obviously tough at the end there. You got the birdie. How do you reflect on the round?

MATT FITZPATRICK: I guess just tired to the end. Obviously been a busy period. And just frustrating. Hit so many good golf shots this week and got punished for them. Just can't get my head around this place.

When it's this firm, you can hit shots and they just don't finish where you thought they would. So it's very difficult.

Q. You already said it's not your favourite place. What's the schedule for you now coming up?

MATT FITZPATRICK: Three weeks off, which I'm looking forward to. And then the playoffs, just get ready for the playoffs.

Q. One question about the two Sheffield amateurs that have been playing, Sam Bairstow and Barclay Brown. He did pretty well here. What do you know about Barclay and all those players? You would give advice to if they asked?

MATT FITZPATRICK: Definitely. I played a practise round with both of them on Tuesday or Wednesday, I think it was. And I spoke to them a little bit and just see what they want to do going forward.

And they're obviously great players. They're here for a reason. Sam's done it twice. He played last year as well, which is impressive. I'm sure they'll go on to big things, they're both really good players and I think they work hard.
