In winning the 122nd edition of the championship on a chilly New England Sunday by one stroke over past U.S. Junior Amateur champions Will Zalatoris and Scottie Scheffler, Fitzpatrick joined World Golf Hall of Famer and 18-time major champion Jack Nicklaus as the only golfers to have won the USGA's two oldest championships at the same venue.
After a solid 1-under-par 69 in Thursday's opening round of the 122nd U.S. Open Championship, Morikawa matched the championship's lowest round - a 66 - on Friday to share the 36-hole lead with qualifier Joel Dahmen.
The course hosted the tournament in 1913, 1963 and 1988 in the past. Defending Champion and Spanish golfer Jon Rahm will be seen in action alongside some of the topmost golfers from around the world battling it out for the coveted honors.
