Matt Fitzpatrick has his professional debut this week at the Irish Open. It will be interesting to see if he is able to play his way onto the tour (either Europe or USPGA) or if he'll need to go the Q School route.

Opening 72 puts him in 80th place. On way to first of many missed cuts as a professional.
You spend your winters in Evanston to work on your game and give you options in life that the European Tour just doesn't give you.
Young Matt would have been well served to play college golf somewhere in the U.S. He could work out and get bigger and stronger (and you could even do that in Evanston in the winter!), which is something he will desperately need as his career progresses.
