MATT’S SIGN OF THE TIMES

MATT FITZPATRICK has gone from autograph hunter to Ryder Cup rookie in a short space of time. The 22-year-old, the youngest player on both sides, said: ‘I’ve looked up to guys in my team since I was a young fan going to tournaments. And Sergio Garcia even signed a golf ball for me when I played with him in Qatar this year. He was giving one to a little kid and I said, “I’ll have one of those if you’ve got one going spare”. Now I’m in the same team as him!’
