I had briefly missed putts where I had a putt from the side to Billy (Foster, his caddie) on the last play where I had to take out several not easy putts to live

Fitzpatrick still rates Valderrama as a great golf course, and believes that patience will continue to be the key to winning performances

Valderrama held on for seven, my 16th tee shot, with the double bogey. It got bit me a bit but I would rather have shown that at fresher headedness day.
