Matt Fitzpatrick is enjoying some of the best golf of his career in 2026, claiming three PGA Tour events and multiple top 10 results.<\/p>\n

Following his excellent play in America, the Englishman is back in Europe for a fortnight stretch of golf that includes the Genesis Scottish Open<\/a> and Open Championship.<\/p>\n

Ahead of the links<\/a> golf, Fitzpatrick has even gone as far as changing his putter, debuting a model that was built for the firm conditions that the course possesses.<\/p>\n

In contention at The Renaissance Club, the putter in question is still the Bettinardi DASS BB1<\/a>, but Fitzpatrick has opted to alter the sole of his gamer to fit the requirements.<\/p>\n

Usually, his putter has a blank sole that can slide when the putter is set down at address on fast, firm surfaces.<\/p>\n

Now, ahead of links golf, Bettinardi has built his backup with a Honeycomb sole pattern, a textured, gritted sole that grips the turf and holds the putter still at setup.<\/p>\n

Certainly, the move has helped Fitzpatrick, who ranked 19th in Strokes Gained: Putting after the first round of the Genesis Scottish Open.<\/p>\n

He also sat seventh in SG: Putting over the third round, with the Major winner ninth in Feet of Putts Made at 91’4″.<\/p>\n

It’s not the only change he has made recently. During the Travelers Championship in June, he switched from a Titleist GT3 driver to a Ping G430 LST model<\/a>.<\/p>\n

That club has remained in the bag since, with it helping Fitzpatrick rank 39th in SG: Off-the-Tee at the Scottish Open.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"When you buy through links on our articles, Future and its syndication partners may earn a commission.
