Brothers Matt and Alex Fitzpatrick have learned how to play nice over the years, but they probably have never played as nicely together as they did on Friday at TPC Louisiana in Avondale, La., shooting 7-under 65 in the foursomes format at the Zurich Classic of New Orleans.
“We barely missed a shot,” said Matt, the world No. 3. “Made the putts when we needed to, made some good birdie looks, and yeah, just felt like we played really solid all around today.”
Indeed, they did. Starting on the back-nine after a 64 in the easier best-ball format, the Fitzpatricks, who are teaming up in the Big Easy for the fourth straight year, got hot at the turn, making eagle at the par-5 18th thanks to Matt chipping in from 60 feet.

“I didn't really do anything,” said Alex. “I hit a 3-wood to the left side of the fairway, and he just chipped it in. So, yeah, there's not much more I can add, really.”
Then, with Matt helping with the reads on the green, Alex made a couple of short birdie putts at Nos. 1 and 2.
“I just keep listening to him, and they go in,” Alex said.
