"It's amazing to be here with him, my mum and dad. It's a lot of hard work and I can't believe we've done it."It's as good as it gets."The Fitzpatricks missed the cut in last year's Zurich Classic and finished in a tie for 11th in 2024.But this victory earns them a cheque worth £1m."It was a struggle," Matt, who won the 2022 US Open, said. "I was doing zero to help him but he was fantastic on the back nine. I said 'just give us a chance on the last to hit a bunker shot like that'...
