Brothers Matt and Alex Fitzpatrick stole the show during Friday’s alternate shot round at the Zurich Classic, posting a brilliant 7-under 65. The English siblings are now just one stroke behind leaders Alex Smalley and Hayden Springer, who sit at 16-under. Matt, currently ranked world No. 3 after his RBC Heritage victory, praised his brother’s putting while Alex credited Matt’s legendary green-reading skills. The duo has played this event together for four consecutive years and looks to be peaking at the perfect time. With nine teams within two shots of the lead, the battle at the top of the leaderboard is intensifying ahead of the third round.
