Fitzpatrick brothers pull out dramatic win at the Zurich

Matt Fitzpatrick and his younger brother Alex combined for a 1-under 71 in alternate shot play on Sunday, to pull out a drama-filled, single-stroke victory in the Zurich Classic and usher the younger Fitzpatrick onto the PGA Tour through 2028.

After the Englishmen had lost a four-stroke lead on the back nine, Matt Fitzpatrick, the third-ranked player in the world, stuck a bunker shot on the par-5 18th a foot from the hole to set up his younger brother's winning putt for a 257.

Until then, Alex Smalley and Hayden Springer; and Kristoffer Reitan and Kris Ventura had been tied for the lead at 258.

Matt Fitzpatrick has now won three times since March, including last weekend at Harbour Town.
