Matt Fitzpatrick's only major triumph to date was at Brookline in 2022 in the US Open

When Matt Fitzpatrick gets under way at Aronimink on Thursday, he will be aiming to end a 107-year wait for an English winner at the US PGA Championship.

Jim Barnes was the first and last, claiming victory at the first two tournaments in 1916 and 1919.

However, Fitzpatrick, who hails from Sheffield, is arguably the best-placed of any Englishman to end that long drought.

Three wins in his past five starts and more than $10.5m (£7.8m) banked already in 2026, has given the 31-year-old his best start to a campaign on the PGA Tour.
