Fitzpatrick finds Quail Hollow’s firmness a surprise as Truist Championship looms

Matt Fitzpatrick heads to the Truist Championship at Quail Hollow as one of the favorites after three wins this season. He was surprised by how firm the greens and the shorter rough are this week, a contrast to last year’s PGA, and acknowledges he doesn’t know the course inside out yet. The updated conditions should test the field but fit Fitzpatrick’s strong driving and iron play, and he remains a top contender despite only having a best Quail Hollow finish of T35 in 2023.
