At the Zurich Classic, brothers Matt and Alex Fitzpatrick entered the back nine with a four-shot lead but saw it evaporate as two duos reached 30 under par. Matt blasted a 322-yard drive into the fairway, but Alex's 9-wood found the greenside bunker short of the hole, putting a playoff in sight for the former sponsor's exemption holder. From the bunker, Matt executed a full swing, carrying the ball to the hole and spinning it back to within one foot, sealing the win after Alex tapped in.
