This made Fitzpatrick the first defending champion to achieve such a feat at the U.S. Open.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAs soon as I hit it, I thought it had a good chance of going close anyway. Dead center. My hand was a bit sore afterward, I\u2019ll be honest, after all the high fiving,\u201d he told reporters.<\/p>\n<p>However, Fitzpatrick&#8217;s joy was short-lived as he recorded a double bogey on the par-4 17th, ending the day far from the top of the leaderboard with an even par 70.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI feel like if I can get the driver going, I can shoot a really good score.
