One of the “sleepers” coming into the week at Riviera Country Club was Englishman Matt Fitzpatrick. He’s been in good form to start 2022 with top-10s at both the AT&T Pebble Beach Pro-Am and WM Phoenix Open. However, it was announced Thursday morning that the European Ryder Cupper has withdrawn from the Genesis Invitational.
It was reported earlier in the week that Fitzpatrick withdrew from the Wednesday pro-am and wasn’t on property Tuesday due to a non-COVID bug.
Fitzpatrick has seen some success at this tournament in recent seasons, finishing T-30 in 2020 and T-5 last season.
He’ll have to wait another week to pursue his first PGA Tour win.
