The last time Matt Fitzpatrick won a tournament at St Andrews it was witnessed by his parents and their dog.

Fourteen years later, a record crowd of 290,000 will be in attendance during the week of the 150th Open Championship as Fitzpatrick seeks back-to-back major titles following his US Open triumph last month.
