Alex Fitzpatrick sends hilarious video to older bro Matt after first pro win
Alex Fitzpatrick claimed his maiden professional victory then sent an hilarious video clip to his older brother Matthew Fitzpatrick.
Weeks after Alex Fitzpatrick impressed on his major debut at the 151st Open, the young Englishman captured his first win as a pro.
The 24-year-old triumphed on the Challenge Tour (the official feeder to the DP World Tour) and won the British Challenge.
His victory at St. Mellion was a comfortable one, the younger Fitzpatrick cruising to a five-shot win and earning a cheque for $46,900.
Of course, he won a lot more dough at Royal Liverpool with his T-17 finish ($187,900 in fact) but his maiden win? That means a whole lot more.
In celebration, he decided to drop a Happy Gilmore quote in a video to his older brother and 2022 U.S. Open champ Matt.
"Hey Matt, just give me one of them big ones," Alex says in an American accent before sliding his giant cheque in the boot of his car.

Superb!
"It's just always asking about me"
Matt spoke about the dynamic he shares with his brother before the 151st Open.
He revealed that it was difficult for Alex when he was younger.
Matt explained:
Surely at the rate he is progressing, Matt can expect plenty more questions about his younger bro.
