Alex Fitzpatrick admits how he really feels after shooting 73 to lose the lead at the Truist

*“*I still have not woken up, which I feel like is a good thing. It’s crazy to be disappointed but I feel like somehow a little disappointed.

*“*I felt I didn’t play that badly. I got off to a really slow start and got unlucky with a few breaks. But that is the game.

“I am happy to see Kris win, he deserves it. He played really, really well today and hopefully it will be my time soon.“

It’s worth remembering that Fitzpatrick did not have any kind of PGA Tour status two weeks ago.

Now he has earned well over $1 million in his last two events, and the course of his career has changed completely.

What Alex Fitzpatrick learned after failing to win the Truist Championship

The Englishman was obviously disappointed after failing to get over the line at Quail Hollow on Sunday.

And he responded when asked what lessons he learned following his final-round 73.

“I think the same lessons I took when I played in India,“ Fitzpatrick said.

*“*It was can I be patient? I hit a good drive on two and was in a divot. Then felt something happen in my backswing on three, and it wasn’t great.

“And I was chipping out. I felt like I battled really well out there and one bad swing cost me on 17. That’s the game and why we play it.“

Despite Alex Fitzpatrick’s failure to win the Truist Championship this week, he should be extremely proud of his efforts.

The only way is up for him now.
