Matt Fitzpatrick missed the cut by three shots after carding scores of 78 and 72 in the first two rounds of The PLAYERS Championship. The Englishman seems to have taken the news badly and has already shown the first signals of it by ending his relationship with his caddie, Billy Foster.Foster himself broke the news on his Instagram account, which has more than 29,000 followers. Although the veteran Loopman did not specifically say he was fired, he did point out that when results are not forthcoming, the caddie or coach usually bears the responsibility."Well after 6 great years, all good things come to an end," Foster posted on Instagram. "This game never stops to frustrate you & infuriate you....!!! Unfortunately times change & ultimately it's the caddie or the coach that has to accept results are not good enough & when you stop enjoying what you are doing it's time for a change.""Thanks Matt we had a great run & who knows where the next chapter will go. Onwards & Upwards."Matt Fitzpatrick and Billy Foster started working together in 2018. Since then, the player has achieved most of his professional successes, including winning the 2022 US Open.
