Matt Fitzpatrick believes he is currently playing the best golf of his career, ahead of the world No 4 teeing it up alongside his father at the Alfred Dunhill Links Championship.

Fitzpatrick registered a fourth worldwide win of the season with a three-shot victory at the Fed Ex Open de France on Sunday, having already won three times on the PGA Tour during an impressive campaign. The Englishman failed to finish higher than 14th in any of the majors in 2026 but still had six worldwide top 10s along with his victories.

"This is the best period of golf I've played for sure," Fitzpatrick told the Sky Sports Golf podcast. "2022 was right up there, but I've had three wins and obviously a fourth now. I think just the sustained consistency has been the big thing really."

Fitzpatrick's latest victory moved him top of the Ryder Cup qualification standings and inside the top 10 in the DP World Tour's Race to Dubai rankings. He previously won the 2023 Alfred Dunhill Links Championship with his mother Sue, and now teams up with dad Russell for this year's contest.
