Alex Fitzpatrick helped on the PGA Tour by having Matt Fitzpatrick around

He told Golf on CBS: āHaving my brother around really helps. Seeing him do kind of all the things that I want to do, and I feel like Iāve been lucky enough to be there for all of his achievements.
āSo I really got a gist of kind of what itās like to be out here and the atmosphere and just even meeting some of these guys before I even came out here.
āSo I definitely think that helped adjust me. And I definitely felt more comfortable than I thought I would out there.ā
