Fitzpatrick wins in France for fourth title of season

Matt Fitzpatrick secured a resounding victory at the FedEx Open de France, clinching his fourth win of 2026 in a dominant display at Le Golf National near Paris. With a commanding three-shot margin, the DP World Tour star shot a final round of 70, leaving him at 20 under par for the tournament. Fitzpatrick entered the day with a five-shot lead, and his only minor hiccup came with a bogey on the 72nd hole, his second blemish on an otherwise flawless scorecard.
