Matt Fitzpatrick's stellar performance at the Scottish Open has sparked a debate: is this the best golf of his career? With three PGA Tour wins this year, including a playoff victory over Scottie Scheffler, Fitzpatrick is on a roll. His rise from 22nd in the Official World Golf Rankings to fourth is remarkable. As he aims to double his major tally at The Open Championship, the question lingers: does this season surpass his US Open victory in 2022? Fitzpatrick believes so, citing his best golf stretch since February. Data Golf's evaluation supports this claim, ranking this year's performance as the 218th best since 1983, compared to 219th for 2022. His Strokes Gained numbers reveal improved iron play and greens around, but a putting slump casts a shadow. Despite this, the season's achievements, including winning the RBC Heritage and the Zurich Classic with his brother, make it a strong contender for the best of his career. The anticipation for The Open Championship adds fuel to the fire, leaving fans eager to see Fitzpatrick's continued dominance.
