“I have complete confidence in my Skeeter and Yamaha combination, and the contingency programs continue to add real value to my tournament season,” said Fitzpatrick. “This year, I’ve received $12,000 through the Real Money program alone, including two $1,000 payouts as the highest-finishing Skeeter and the recent $10,000 bonus tied to the championship. Winning the championship was the goal, but that bonus makes a great week even better.”
