Ep #19 - The inside track on Matt Fitzpatrick’s US Open win!

On Episode 19 of The England Golf Podcast we get the inside track from England Golf coach Steve Robinson on Matt Fitzpatrick's US Open victory at The Country Club. With that win, the Sheffield golfer became only the eighth Englishman in history to lift the trophy and only the third since 1924 (Tony Jacklin 1970, Justin Rose 2013). Matt played for England as an amateur and was ranked number one amateur in the world after winning the US Amateur, also at The Country Club in 2013. We get the lowdown from Robbo on his star pupil's stunning major win. Also on this month's edition of the podcast, we speak with Mum and Daughter duo Martine and Heather Gilks who helped England's golfers with a disability enjoy a fantastic debut in the European Team Championships and Nations Cup in Belgium. Our Director of Championships, James Crampton, also joins us for a chat to discuss his brilliant victory in the European Senior Men's Amateur Championship in what was his first event as a senior.  Finally, we hear from Michael Morrison on golf's boom during the Victorian era ahead of the release of his new book, The Great English Golf Boom (1864-1914).
