“Obviously we had not really been in contention yet together,“ he said.

“I think once on the DP World Tour in Switzerland, but yeah, I would imagine it’s going to be a weird feeling when that time does come.“

Who knows, perhaps Matt and Alex will finally get the chance to compete against each other in the same group this week in Pennsylvania.

What has impressed Matt Fitzpatrick most about Alex

Fitzpatrick responded when asked by reporters to describe the overriding feeling he has about his brother right now.

“I think impressed more than anything,“ he said.

*“*Super proud of him for how he’s been playing and following up the win at Zurich with two brilliant, brilliant weeks, both at Doral and obviously last week as well.

*“*I think to battle back how he did yesterday after the start was really impressive, and I think he should credit himself because I think in years gone by, probably could have gotten away from him pretty quickly.

“To be in contention right to the 70th hole was a testament to how far he’s come.“

Now Alex Fitzpatrick will be looking to emulate Matt by winning a major championship. Whether this week at Aronimink will come too soon for him remains to be seen, though.
