Matt Fitzpatrick told he was a "disgrace" in savage home truths before maiden major win

Matthew Fitzpatrick was told his 'attitude was a disgrace' prior to his maiden major championship win at the US Open this summer. Fitzpatrick wrote himself into golf's history books in June after becoming US Open champion at Brookline, the very same course where he won the US amateur crown nine years prior.

The Englishman put in a hard-fought performance on the final day of the championship to see off Will Zalatoris by one single shot to claim his maiden major - and PGA Tour - win. Just two months before though, the Sheffield star was given a brutal home truth from his caddie Billy Foster.

In the first major of the campaign at The Masters, Fitzpatrick's performance was far from the one that saw hime become champion at Brookline, as he missed the cut at Augusta National in April.
