Unfortunately for Matthew Fitzpatrick, his parents won’t attend the Ryder Cup in New York after their experiences with abusive fans at the tournament in 2021 at Whistling Straits. Fitzpatrick noted that his folks will in the upcoming Alfred Dunhill Links Championship at St Andrews, which had also been a factor in their decision of not traveling to the United States.
I left it completely up to them. I mean, there’s two there’s two things on that, you know, that there is obviously a little bit of that. They didn’t have a great experience in Whistland Straits. That’s that’s not like a lie or anything or or making anything up. But, um, the other thing is my both my parents are playing next week in the Dunhill. So, um, they also didn’t really want to ruin that experience as well cuz that’s that’s obviously special to to have have that. So, um, yeah, it’s it’s a combination. You know, they it’s a it’s a lot of travel. It’s obviously a busy week. It’s a tiring week and then they obviously want to have a nice week next week as well with me and my brother. So, um yeah, you know, no denying that they had a they had a bad experience in the past, but you know, there’s no reason why it has to be like that this time.
