At the end of a tense, emotional Sunday, usually reserved for Augusta, not befitting the usual fare for this two man team play, fun family week at the Zurich Classic, Matt Fitzpatrick, struggling with his game after the best 43 days of his career, nailed a 40 yard bunker shot under the gun, stiff at the 72nd hole, this time for his younger brothers immediate future on the PGA Tour. 

A 71 for a -31 total just edging Alex Smalley/ Hayden Springer and Kristoffer Reitan/ Kris Venturi who get honourable mention after their eagle 3 at the last, for the day's best score of 65 -30.

It turned out to be a fairytale ending for parents, Russell and Sue and their Fitzpatrick family. Just look at why Matt is the best golfer in the world over the last 43 days, right now!
