Team Troon On Tour: Fitzpatrick With A T6 at Genesis Scottish Open And Its Open Championship Week
DP World Tour – Genesis Scottish Open
Team Troon was well represented at the DP World Tour Genesis Scottish Open. The event, played at Renaissance Club in North Berwick, Scotland, afforded many players with a “links golf prep” in advance of the 150th Open Championship at St. Andrews this week. Gary Woodland would start off hot with a first round 64 placing him in 2nd after day one. Low Team Troon member, in the end was U.S. Open Champion Matt Fitzpatrick who finished -3 for a solid T6 finish. Gary Woodland and Alex Noren would finish T30 and Matt Kuchar would finish T47. Solid playing Team Troon!
- T6 Matt Fitzpatrick 71-66-70-70 = 277 / -3
