After most major tournaments, it's the caddie who's first to congratulate or comfort the golfer. In this instance, it was the other way around.
It didn't come easy on Sunday for Foster and Fitzpatrick, who paired up in 2018 after Foster's run with Westwood ended. A potential playoff loomed after Fitzpatrick, nursing a one-stroke lead, sent his tee shot on 18 into a fairway bunker. He recovered with a shot Fitzpatrick called"one of the best shots I’ve hit of all time" and saved par. Foster and Fitzpatrick stood beside one another as Will Zalatoris lined up for a 15-foot birdie putt needed to force a playoff.
"[Fitzpatrick's] normally a great putter and he missed quite a few short ones today. I'm like, 'You little bastard,' Foster said with a laugh."But, unbelievable, 17 out of 18 greens, never missed a shot all day. So, he was great."
