Fitzpatrick's Surge, DeChambeau's Magic: Masters Preview

0:00On March 24th, Matt Fitzpatrick just nailed a birdie putt on the 18th hole to win the Valsbar Championship in Palm Harbor, Florida. It came a week after he finished second at the Players Championship. The Englishman, who won the U.S. Open in 2022, now sits at number 6 in the World Rankings. He's feeling good about the Masters next week at Augusta National. Recent Masters champions usually head into the event with multiple wins under their belts. Five of the last six winners fit that pattern, like Scottie Sheffler and John Rom, with three victories each before their green jackets. Over in Asia, Bryson Deschambo has been on fire, birdying the last in Singapore for a playoff win, then beating Rom in another playoff with A, stunning three wood from the ref. Players and fans are buzzing about Deschambo's shots, with some saying only a few in the world could pull them off. Deftler kicked off his year with a big win in the California Desert, but pulled out of the Houston Open for the birth of his second child.

1:02Still, he's got a strong history, and even Tiger Woods once bounced back from a winless stretch to dominate. Fitzpatrick himself climbed back from a rough patch last year, switching his caddy and swing coach to get contending again, newcomers like Chris Gotterup, with four career wins including two this year, and Jacob Bridgman on a hot streak with no finish worse than 20th. In eight starts, Ed and Treg. Cameron Young won the players, Patrick Reed took two in the Middle East, Rom grabbed one in Hong Kong, and Justin Rose prevailed at Tory Pines. With so many players peaking right now, the master's field looks wide open and full of momentum.
