Matt Fitzpatrick makes history with his brother at PGA Tour event in New Orleans

  • Matt and Alex Fitzpatrick made history by becoming the first brothers to win the Zurich Classic of New Orleans, a PGA Tour team event.
  • The Sheffield duo secured their victory with a crucial birdie on the final hole, reaching a total of 31 under par and narrowly avoiding a three-way play-off.
  • Alex Fitzpatrick's win earned him a PGA Tour card through 2028, along with exemptions to the next four Signature Events, the US PGA Championship, and the 2027 Players Championship.
  • Matt Fitzpatrick achieved a significant personal milestone, becoming the first player in over two years to win back-to-back PGA Tour events and the first Englishman to claim three victories in a single American season.
  • Despite starting the final round with a four-stroke lead, the brothers faced a challenging day, including a double bogey and a bogey, before Matt's excellent bunker shot set up Alex's decisive tap-in.
