PALM HARBOR, Fla. (AP) — One week after his disappointment from a runner-up finish at Sawgrass, Matt Fitzpatrick has put it behind him with a win at the Valspar Championship. The 2022 U.S. Open champion played bogey-free on a tough Copperhead course at Innisbrook. He made a birdie putt from just inside 15 feet on the final hole for a 68 and a one-shot victory over David Lipsky. Sungjae Im had a three-shot lead at the start of the day but shot 40 on the front nine. Brandt Snedeker was tied for the lead at the turn and shot 40 on the back nine.
