Matt Fitzpatrick slams 'ridiculous' pace of play after contending with Patrick Cantlay

Matt Fitzpatrick has urged golf's governing bodies to speed up the "ridiculous" pace of play after his RBC Heritage triumph.

Fitzpatrick, 28, won his maiden non-major PGA Tour title in South Carolina on Sunday by beating Jordan Spieth in a play-off. Yet the Sheffield star was left frustrated by the pace of play during the final round, especially that of his playing partner Patrick Cantlay.

Fitzpatrick, who is the reigning US Open champion after his triumph at the Country Club last June, is worried the PGA Tour and DP World Tour have little interest in speeding up the game. He wants all professional rounds to be completed within four hours.
