I Tried Matt Fitzpatrick's Cross-Handed Chipping Technique... But Did It Improve My Short Game?

Anyone who has seen me play golf will testify that my short game is erratic at best, so after watching the Open (and with very little to lose), I thought I'd try Matt Fitzpatrick's cross-handed chipping technique.

Fitzpatrick led the field for Strokes Gained: Around The Green over the first two rounds at the Open Championship this week, with his unique short game style catapulting him into contention for the Claret Jug at Royal Portrush.
