BIO

Patrick had a decorated amateur career, ranking amateur number 1 for a record 54 weeks and finishing runner up at the US Amateur in 2011. However, he suffered a back injury in 2013 whilst warming up for an event and that would see him only play 6 events between 2014-2017. That period was further

It's to Patrick's credit that he came back in 2017, making 14 appearances without missing a single cut. He also ended the year with a win at the Shriners Hospitals for Children Open.

He's since gone on to win four more times on the PGA Tour and is a fixture inside the world's top 10 now.

Be careful when backing against Patrick in matchbets. He only missed 5 cuts in his 74 starts between 2017 and 2020 and has become a top 10 machine in 2022.

Significant info

Patrick turns 30 in March 2022. We've already seen a huge improvement in performance in 2021 and expect further strong improvements as he heads towards the milestone age of 30.
