Fitzpatrick wins the last event of the European Tour season
with a final round 68 (-3) after opening with four consecutive
birdies
MENLO PARK, Calif.,
Dec. 15, 2020 /PRNewswire/ -- Global
consulting firm Protiviti is proud to announce that brand
ambassador and professional golfer Matthew
Fitzpatrick has won his final tournament of 2020, the DP
World Tour Championship in Dubai.
Fitzpatrick's win was propelled by a final round that started
with four birdies and ended with a 68 (-3) total, leaving him
one-shot clear of the field. Fitzpatrick sports the Protiviti logo
on his left sleeve and golf bag, after partnering with the
consulting firm last January.
At 26 years old, this is Fitzpatrick's sixth professional
victory and the second time in his career that he's captured the DP
World Tour Championship crown in Dubai. He will finish the season in second
place for the European Tour's season-long Race to Dubai. Now ranked
the 16th best male golfer in the world, Fitzpatrick has
had a promising career to date after becoming the youngest
Englishman ever to win five European Tour events and was named to
the European Ryder Cup team at age 21. He attended Northwestern University before beginning his
professional career in 2014.
"We are thrilled for Matt and all of our people at Protiviti who
have been pulling for him this year. We are so proud to see his
tireless work ethic and persistence pay off to close out 2020 on a
high note. We're looking forward to riding this momentum into
2021," said Joseph Tarantino,
president and CEO of Protiviti.
Reflecting on his victory in Dubai, Fitzpatrick said: "I'm thrilled we were
able to get it over the line. It's been a long year but it's a
great feeling to be back in the winner's circle, and I'm happy to
share this victory with Protiviti. They've been so supportive
throughout this year, and I'm excited to continue representing them
in 2021 and beyond."
