Matthew Fitzpatrick produced a sensational run of five consecutive birdies to surge into contention at the Genesis Scottish Open, putting himself firmly in the mix ahead of the weekend.
The Englishman climbed the leaderboard with a flawless stretch of golf, strengthening his hopes of claiming the title in the final event before next week’s Open Championship.
Meanwhile, fellow English star Charley Hull also enjoyed a positive start at the Amundi Evian Championship, remaining firmly in contention as one of the leading challengers in the women’s major.
Both players will be aiming to maintain their momentum as they chase silverware in two of the biggest events on the golfing calendar.
