Looks like we may have an English name on the trophy this evening. Matt Fitzpatrick is 2up after 31 holes.

18 yrs old!!!!???? Blimey
 
Can't tell you how thrilled we are for Matt.

About 30 of us been watching in a local pub (no Sky at HGC).

Twitter been going daft - Greg Norman and Luke Donald already sent tweets of congratulations and more coming in every minute.

What an achievement!
 
He had his brother on the bag who was even smaller still - looked like a homage to Ouimet. Bit of a spat when his brother left his lib wedge by a bunker 2holes back!!!

Great stuff

Love it..... great evening of golf... thank god for sky +..... Well done that man !

ps the argument with his brother over the lob wedge was pure brotherly love at its best.....
 
Speaking (well posting) of Ouimet...

In the vid of USGA's homage to Ouimet and his clubs and ball, there's a section showing Bernard Darwin's signature as Marker.

I hadn't known that, though it's in his Hall of Fame story! That's my 'fact learnt for today' then! Shows how small the world really is too.
 
Good to see him follow Richie Ramsay as winner (all be it a few years later), hopefully big things for him. Looks like he'll remain amatuer till at least the masters. He'd be a fool not to.

but I wouldn't want to paint it!


only realised when it was all over that the red button on sky had it live.............bah! hope its repeated soon. Great achievement.
 
Fantastic achievement. What a cv he has built in the last 12 months, he has a great future ahead of him in the game.
 
A fantastic achievment - do I recall someone on here a few weeks ago posting us (UK) being sporting bottlers? meanwhile the sporting successes of 2013 continue to roll in merrily - World Athletics golds and some great performances, Solheim Cup and this lad - oh yes - and para sports Ellie Symonds et al.
