FITZPATRICK
FINISHES THE JOB.

Matt Fitzpatrick held his nerve at Le Golf National to win the 2026 FedEx Open de France by three strokes.

The Englishman entered the final round with a five-shot lead. It narrowed during a patient opening stretch in which he made 12 consecutive pars before finding his first birdie at the 13th.

Fitzpatrick pulled clear again on the closing holes and finished with a round of 70. The DP World Tour reported a three-stroke margin and an 11th tour win for him.

The finish underlined how quickly the shape of a golf tournament can change even when one player appears in control. A large overnight lead became a two-shot cushion before Fitzpatrick’s late scoring removed the doubt.
