US Amateur champion Matt Fitzpatrick ready to turn pro

English teenage golfer Matthew Fitzpatrick confirms that he will turn professional after this year's US Open at Pinehurst.

English teenage golfer Matthew Fitzpatrick has confirmed that he will turn professional after this year's US Open at Pinehurst.

The 19-year-old from Sheffield, who won last year's US Amateur at Brookline, recently signed with International Sports Management and hopes they can "mould" him into a Major winner.

"I chose ISM because I was impressed with how much they wanted to manage me," PA quotes him as saying.

"I had options, but eventually it came down to ISM. They have a proven track record of guiding the careers of young golfers and moulding major champions. I am in good hands."

Fitzpatrick played with new world number one Adam Scott in the first two rounds of The Masters in April, missing the cut by one shot at Augusta.
