“Six, that’s the number . . . I’ve got a bit of a way to go, but it’s a good start,” said Fitzpatrick of discovering the art of winning. Indeed, the English man recalled a conversation he’d had with Shane Lowry as a key lightbulb moment in getting the mental approach to compete when things weren’t going well.
One area in which Fitzpatrick has improved hugely is in the area of driving distance off the tee, which he attributed to working with a biomechanist Sasho Mackenzie. “He gave me this speed stick called The Stack. I’ve been doing that religiously week-in and week-out. It’s like going to the gym basically, it’s a training programme and, I’ll be honest, it has worked wonders.”
