AMSTERDAM – The heroic battle on the final day of the US Open partly pushed the commotion around the controversial LIV Golf series to the background. Partly because none of the deserters even came close to victory, and most of them even performed dramatically. The competitive PGA Tour will have watched, rubbing hands, as their organization’s dog-loyal Matt Fitzpatrick, Will Zalatoris and Scottie Scheffler delivered a thriller in which Fitzpatrick took the lead.
