He told The Associated Press it took “a lot of grit” to lock in his win. But once he clinched the victory, he simply tapped his finger to his ear in a nod to the rambunctious crowd.

The win was even sweeter for Fitzpatrick with Katherine there to support him. The two first went Instagram official in January 2023, then got engaged in September of that year.

Katherine was there for Fitzpatrick during the 2023 PGA Tour season, and even caddied for him during the Masters Par 3 contest in April 2023.

When Fitzpatrick defeated Spieth at the RBC Heritage that year, she was there to watch, along with the rest of the pro golfer's family. After the win, Fitzpatrick told the press, “I knew [the shot] was good because my mom and my girlfriend were jumping up and down with their arms in the air."

The couple, who wed in 2024, revealed their pregnancy news on Instagram in March of this year.

"We can’t wait to meet our baby 💛," Katherine wrote in the caption of a black and white image showing her baby bump. Katherine also showed off her growing bump at the 2026 Masters earlier this month, where she supported her husband.
