Indian Open: Superb teamwork between brothers Matt Fitzpatrick and Alex Fitzpatrick resulted in a unique win at the Zurich Classic of New Orleans. The brothers totalled 31-under and celebrated a dramatic and emotional victory after a fierce battle down the stretch as the TPC Louisiana event’s unique team format delivered plenty of twists.
India-origin players Sahith Theegala and Aaron Rai carded a steady 2-under 70 in the final alternate-shot round, finishing tied for 24th. Another Indo-Canadian pairing, Sudarshan Yellamaraju and Ryan Gerard, ended in 34th after a similar round.
At the top, however, the Fitzpatrick brothers showcased resilience under pressure. Entering the back nine with a comfortable four-shot lead, they briefly faltered, allowing competitors back into contention. But when it mattered most, they delivered. A near-perfect bunker shot from Matt on the 18th hole left Alex with a simple tap-in, sealing a one-stroke victory and a memorable PGA TOUR triumph.
