Matt Fitzpatrick is currently playing in the third round of The Open Championship at Royal Portrush Golf Club. Apart from his spectacular eagle, the golfer's equipment has now come under the spotlight.

Moving day witnessed 70 golfers out of the 156-player field tee off at Dunluce Links Course. Fitzpatrick, who is in contention for the win, was seen using customized golf balls in the third round of The Open Championship.

Matt Fitzpatrick's Titleist Golf Balls were customized by his wife Katherine Fitzpatrick. In a series of images released online, the balls could be seen marked with red symbols and heartwarming notes by Katherine like "MF is cute", "I Love You".

Katherine has been a big part of her partner's journey, and has cheered him on at various tournaments. She also recorded a complete clip of herself marking the Titleist golf balls for her husband before the Open.

In the video, Katherine said:

"Let’s mark my husband’s golf balls up for the Open.... I always mark my husband’s golf balls up for every tournament he plays. It’s just like a special way for me to get involved." "Most of the time, I do hearts and stars, but sometimes if it’s more of a serious tournament, I’ll do fish."

Fitzpatrick finds himself in second place in The Open Championship leaderboard, one stroke behind Scottie Scheffler as of this writing. The Brit has one Major title to his name, having won the US Open in 2022.
