Fitzpatrick: Bogey-Free in Lead at FedEx Open de France

36 holes, no bogeys, and Matt Fitzpatrick has the FedEx Open de France in his grasp – what a statement from the world star on the green. The reigning world number four is playing golf at Le Golf National as if there were no errors in this world, taking the sole lead after two rounds with a total score of 13 under par (129 strokes).

The Untouchable at the National Course

Fitzpatrick has put on an impressive show this week. A flawless 65 on Thursday, followed by another bogey-free 64 on Friday – featuring an eagle and five birdies. The action was intense on the former Ryder Cup course, which hosted the elite teams in 2018 and 2019. After a challenging period leading up to this event, he is proving here that he is ready to attack again. It's going well!

Hot on his heels is Jeff Winther, who also shot a powerful 64 and is just one stroke behind Fitzpatrick at 12 under par. Michael Kim, the defending champion, who was in the lead after round one with a bogey-free 63, had to settle for a 68 and finds himself in third place – a bogey on the final hole of the second round cost him crucial strokes.

Weekend Showdown

The weekend promises pure drama. Fitzpatrick will tee off in the final group with Winther on Saturday, and everything is set for a thrilling duel. But beware: Ryan Gerard at 10 under and Tom Vaillant are also lurking. The FedEx Open de France is far from decided, and the pressure will mount with every drive.
