Alex Fitzpatrick’s start to life on the PGA Tour has been exceptional. After earning membership via winning the Zurich Classic with his brother, Matt, he’s finished T9, 4 and T6 in 3 Signature Events, including a final round 65 yesterday at The Memorial for another top 10.
After the round, he was asked if it was good prep for the US Open:
“Absolutely, yeah. That played like a major championship out there. It certainly wasn't easy. I think only having two milkshakes this week was probably the key to playing well in the last round. But, no, it's a great test out there. I played really nicely today. I finally holed some putts, so it was nice shoot a low one and see where that leaves me.”
He was also asked how nice it’s been to start so well on the PGA Tour:
“Yeah, it's really rewarding. I guess that was always the thing after we won, it was, like, how is he going to do, is he going to carry on playing okay. I think that the biggest thing I took really was the win in India. I felt like that was a big weight off my shoulders. That was kind of something that I had wanted since I was young, to win on that TOUR, and I felt like that made it a little easier going into the Zurich not having as much pressure and just trying to enjoy it.
“But it's definitely been really rewarding playing some good golf following that and, yeah, hopefully, that stays like that.”
Alex says he’s going to play the next 3 weeks at the RBC Canadian Open, the US Open and then the Travelers. He also went to Shinnecock 10 days ago with Matt to check out the course ahead of his US Open debut.
Alex’s journey this year has been a lot of fun to follow and hopefully he can keep trending for the rest of the season 🏴
