Matt Fitzpatrick and his brother, Alex, will head into the final round of the Zurich Classic with a four-shot lead.
Itâs fair to say that Matt, the older of the Fitzpatrick brothers, is the far more accomplished player out of the two.
However, Alex Fitzpatrick is a great golfer in his own right. He won last month on the DP World Tour and has shown this week in New Orleans that he has serious game.

However, perhaps a victory at the Zurich Classic would mean even more to him, given the fact that it would see his younger brother earn exempt status on the PGA Tour for two years.
Alex Fitzpatrick loves playing with his brother in team competition, and the feeling is very much mutual.
The Fitzpatrick brothers are in a very good position to win the Zurich Classic, but they obviously havenât got the job done just yet.

âYeah, he was brilliant today. He was faultless, truly. He played fantastic, and he played fantastic yesterday as well,â the 2022 U.S. Open champion said.
*â*He played brilliant golf both the last two days. His game has really turned a corner these last few months, and I believe in him to continue that trend.
âHeâs doing all the right things, and obviously it was nice for him to have such a big impact there on the back nine to continue what the front nine brought.â
The Fitzpatrick brothers posted a faultless round of 57 on day three at TPC Louisiana.
And both of them reacted to that score after their round.
âYeah, I didnât really do much the first nine holes,â Alex said.
âI just kind of just let him do his thing. Yeah, it was pretty cool to watch. You know, playing alongside my brother, who happens also to be one of the best players in the world is pretty fun. When heâs playing well, itâs pretty cool to watch.â
Matt then echoed a similar sentiment.
âYeah, an amazing day. Amazing day. Probably not kind of sunk in how well we played today, if Iâm honest,â he admitted.
*â*Yeah, it was just hole after hole. The score, I only just realized we finished with five in a row. You know, you kind of are thinking about the next shot, so youâre not really thinking about that.
âYeah, a special day.â
If Matt and Alex Fitzpatrick play anything like they did on Saturday during the final round of the Zurich Classic, they will be just fine.
