Matt Fitzpatrick insisted he was trying to play down his chances of a Ryder Cup debut following his three-shot win at the Nordea Masters. Fitzpatrick displayed composure beyond his 21 years to safely protect his overnight five-shot lead as a solid final-round 71 proved enough to hold off Lasse Jensen and Nicolas Colsaerts at Bro Hof Slott.The young Englishman had endured a poor run of results since posting his only top-10 finish of the season at The Masters in April, when a superb final-round 67 lifted him into a tie for seventh - five shots behind Danny Willett. Fitzpatrick held his nerve to wrap up a three-shot win in Sweden Fitzpatrick missed the cut by one shot in his next three starts, but he roared back to form in Stockholm to pick up his second European Tour title following his impressive wire-to-wire victory in the British Masters supported by Sky Sports at Woburn in October.He remains fourth on the European points list in the Ryder Cup standings, but the win in Sweden extended his advantage over fifth-placed Andy Sullivan to almost 270,000 points.

Hopefully Ill keep playing well and see where we end up come September. Fitzpatrick retains the final qualifying place in the European points list for the Ryder Cup Asked to rate his progress since his maiden Tour victory at Woburn, Fitzpatrick added: Im completely a million miles ahead of schedule.Its been a tough few weeks to be fair. After the Masters I had three missed cuts in a row and didnt play as well as Id like at Wentworth last week, and all of a sudden you turn up this week and pick up a win. The 21-year-old is the youngest winner of the Nordea Masters, surpassing Graeme McDowell Ill never forget my first win, but this is a special one for me as well. To win once, people might say that was lucky but to win twice and people might have a little bit more confidence in you. So its nice to back that up.Its great to see some of those names on the trophy, like Nick Faldo, Lee Westwood, Luke Donald. Its brilliant. I think I noticed Tony Jacklins name on there as well, and theres some great foreign players as well, so Im delighted. Fitzpatrick missed three straight cuts after his tie for seventh at The Masters I was just trying to stick to my game plan today, as I didnt want to chase. Thought that would be silly of me to try and do that. I think the first time I was ale to really relax was once I found the green on the 17th.Theres no bailout on that hole. When I actually hit it and I thought thats a great shot, and it should be really close. It came down and it looked close, and then it started spinning and my heart was in my mouth. And Im sure my dad at home was panicking about that one. American Golf Competition Win replica clubs and bag of the player who wins the US Open - enter now!

The UEFA A licence takes one-year to complete. The course is comprised of two residential weeks; the first is at the start of the course, and the second is at the conclusion. The workload includes classroom lectures and seminars, practical sessions, three practical assessments, a group presentation as well as an individual theory paper. The practical assessments are the most nerve-wracking part of the course for most coaches. Not only are you being assessed by your instructors (and you must pass the final two assessments to be awarded the licence), you are also being judged by your peers. As many of the coaches on the course have been involved in football their entire lives – some at the very highest levels of the game - winning them over can be a daunting task. The assessments work like this; you are given a topic and must develop and deliver a training session that meets the objectives of that topic. You have one assessment during your first residential week, with the remaining two assessments taking place some time before the second residential week, usually at the club at which you are coaching. The first assessment is a phase of play session (meaning the session must occur with the players in the area of the pitch specific to your topic, and usually builds towards 11v11 football), and is expected to last around 30 minutes. Warm-ups, functional work and warm-downs are not included in that time, as the coaches generally get assessed towards the end of the residential week, back-to-back, and are already warmed up. It makes for long days though, as the coaches on the course are often asked to participate in the assessment sessions as players. It does, however, create a very collegial atmosphere; the coaches work together to get each other through the course. The final two assessments are arguably the most challenging. You are given the topic of your second assessment in advance, andd are expected to deliver a 45-minute session that meets the objectives of your topic.dddddddddddd As soon as you complete your session, your assessor gives you your results. If your session is deemed to be sufficient to warrant a passing grade, you are immediately given the topic for your third assessment. You then have 10 minutes to prepare your session, which is your final practical assessment. Its fair to say you need to know what you are doing. The theory paper has a variety of questions that you have to answer. Here is one of the questions from my theory paper: 1 (a) Assume you are the Manager/Coach of a team. What team shape would you adopt, i.e. 4-4-2, 4-3-3, etc.? Explain the reasons why you would adopt this shape. 1 (b) Also, indicate the roles/responsibilities of all the players, using a diagram(s) to illustrate the pattern/direction of runs expected from your players when ATTACKING. 1 (c) Finally, describe your team tactics/shape when defending, using a diagram(s) to illustrate your answer. You can be as detailed and descriptive as you want in your answers. Personally, I think it is very important to cover every detail as a coach, so that you are prepared for every possibility that might occur in a game. However, when conveying instructions to your players, the simpler you can make the game for them, the better. Ultimately, you want to give them the freedom to make their own decisions on the pitch, while always being mindful of their role in the teams tactical plan. I am really looking forward to this week, as I always enjoy a spirited discussion about the game – something that is sure to take place in the classroom sessions that the final week is primarily composed of. I am especially looking forward to the motivational seminar, delivered by a good friend of mine, Watt Nicoll. I worked with Watt for two years while I was the captain at Ipswich Town FC, and he is one of the most engaging, intelligent men Ive come across in the game. His presentations are incredibly powerful, as anyone who has seen him speak can attest. His seminar (and the many stories he will share over a cup of tea afterwards!) is sure to be the highlight of the week. ' ' '
