England's Matt Fitzpatrick eases to French Open win for 4th title of the year
PARIS (AP) --- Matt Fitzpatrick eased to victory at the French Open on Sunday
for his fourth title of the year.
The Englishman shot a 1-under 70 in the final round and was 20 under for the
tournament, outclassing the chasing pack led by Spaniard Angel Hidalgo (67),
who finished three strokes back.
Local favorite Tom Vaillant, a two-time winner on the smaller Alps Tour but
still looking for his first European tour title, started the day second but
dropped back to finish joint-third along with three other players after a
final-day 70.
Fitzpatrick already has won the Valspar Championship and the RBC Heritage on
the PGA Tour, along with teaming with younger brother Alex to win the Zurich
Classic of New Orleans. But he was disappointed with his missed cut in the
British Open, along with substandard play in the PGA Tour's postseason.
