US Open 2022: Final round tee times at The Country Club in Brookline
Matt Fitzpatrick believes his previous triumph at Brookline will give him the edge as he seeks a first major title in the 122nd US Open.
Nine years after winning the US Amateur title at the same venue, Fitzpatrick shares the lead heading into the final round of the year's third major with American Will Zalatoris, a shot ahead of defending champion Jon Rahm.
World No 1 Scottie Scheffler, Keegan Bradley and Adam Hadwin are two shots off the pace at the Country Club, with Rory McIlroy, Sam Burns and Joel Dahmen another stroke back and the last of just nine players in red figures.
"I certainly think it gives me an edge over the others," Fitzpatrick said of his US Amateur win in 2013. "I genuinely do believe that. It's a real positive moment in my career. It kind of kickstarted me.
"To come back here and play so well again, it kind of just gives me growing confidence round by round."
Fitzpatrick also contested the fourth round of the US PGA from the final group at Southern Hills last month, a closing 73 meaning he missed out on the play-off between Zalatoris and Justin Thomas by two shots.
"I didn't have my A-game that day and I felt like if I played anything like my A-game, B-game, whatever, I would have been in even better contention," the 27-year-old added.
