The Outlook

What Fitzpatrick does have going for him is his ability to keep the ball in the fairway (65.1% Long-Term Driving Accuracy), but … that’s about it. He's short off the tee (284.5 Long-Term Driving Distance), and he ranks 95th in Driving Distance gained this season. With a premium being placed on par-4 scoring and bogey avoidance, it’s difficult to get excited about Fitzpatrick, whose averaging +1.2 average adjusted strokes on par-4s over the past 75 weeks and ranks 50th in bogey avoidance this PGA season.
