Fitzpatrick’s return to the top of the game has coincided with his younger brother Alex, also grabbing the headlines.<\/p>\n
The siblings’ pairs win in New Orleans earned Alex a two-year PGA Tour card and the 27-year-old led after 54 holes before finishing fourth in last week’s Truist Championship.<\/p>\n
“We have not really been in contention yet together but I would imagine it’s going to be a weird feeling when that time does come,” Matt Fitzpatrick said.<\/p>\n
“I’ve been impressed more than anything. I’m super proud of him for how he’s been playing. I’m probably known as Alex’s brother now, as opposed to him being Matt’s brother.”<\/p>\n
At the end of 2025, Alex Fitzpatrick was 203rd in the world but he has climbed significantly since then to 83rd and will be looking to build on a hugely impressive joint 17th on his solitary major appearance to date, at Hoylake in the 2023 Open Championship. <\/p>\n
However, while Matt Fitzpatrick has employed a data-driven method to his quest to add to his US Open victory at Brookline four years ago – he is well known or writing detailed notes after every shot he hits – he says his approach, on and off the course is not mirrored by his younger brother.<\/p>\n
“He is messy, I would say. We shared a bathroom last week, actually, in the house that we shared, and it was a little bit messier than my side of the bathroom,” smiled Matt.<\/p>\n
“I think he probably wanted to create his own path. He’s not really numbers orientated. I like to know the numbers.<\/p>\n
“I personally just think that’s kind of good practice, not being over analytical. I think Alex is kind of definitely more go with the flow.He is doing a good job of where he is at the minute.”<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
