Fitzpatrick takes one-shot lead at Bay Hill. MORE:
ORLANDO, Fla. — Matt Fitzpatrick managed to avoid bogeys on a Bay Hill course so firm he could barely find any pitch marks on the greens Saturday. It led to a 5-under 67 and a one-shot lead over Rory McIlroy going into the final round of the Arnold Palmer Invitational.
"So when you see that, you know it's going to be in for tough, fiery greens," Fitzpatrick said."But the condition of the greens is fantastic and they have been all week, so I think that that's what make it's so great. You can still hit to 30 feet, 40 feet and just have a perfectly great putt, just because they're so good."
"There's water around here, the greens are firm, the rough's thick," Fitzpatrick said."Today someone was saying it's a bit like a U.S. Open, which I could totally see. It only takes a couple of water balls from the top five guys, a few dropped shots early and all of a sudden you sort of are not looking like you're in a great position."
