Alex Fitzpatrick Grabs First Win on European Challenge Tour
- Author: Alex Miceli
Alex Fitzpatrick is topping off the best month in his young career with a five-shot victory at the British Challenge, his first win on the Challenge Tour.
Starting the final round three shots behind Stuart Manley of Wales at the St. Mellion Estate in Cornwall, England, the 24-year-old had one of the best rounds of the day with a 4-under 68.
“I’m ecstatic,” the brother of U.S. Open Matt Fitzpatrick said. “I feel like I’ve been playing some decent golf and I’ve been putting in a lot of work. It’s just nice to see it finally pay off."
Fitzpatrick said that Sundays are always tough as players make moves and, luckily, he was the one that did it.
The run for Fitzpatrick started when he qualified for the British Open on July 4 at West Lancashire Golf Club with a final-round 65, tying the best afternoon round of the qualifier with England’s Matt Wallace.
His first appearance in a major championship didn’t disappoint, as he was firmly on the leaderboard after three days at T9 before the two-time Walker Cupper finished T17 at Royal Liverpool Golf Club.
“I was hoping I could maybe get it done today, but that's not the case, so I'll have to keep grinding on the Challenge Tour and try and get off it as quick as I can,” Fitzpatrick said after his final-round 73 at Hoylake. “It's a difficult game, so I feel like I can compete with the best in the world with my game, and I feel like it's definitely shown me now that I can do it. It's just a case of getting to compete against the best in the world more often than just once.”
The win for Fitzpatrick in Cornwall on Sunday was his first since turning pro, finally eclipsing his two collegiate wins at Wake Forest.
Fitzpatrick moved up 14 spots in the Road to Mallorca rankings and sits seventh, needing to finish in the Top 20 to earn his DP World Tour card for the 2024 season.
“Over the past year on the Challenge Tour, I feel like I’ve put myself in contention quite a lot," he said. "I did it in India and in the Netherlands but not got it over the line. It’s been an amazing week and I’m very happy to get it done.”
Next up for Fitzpatrick will be the Farmfoods Scottish Challenge in Aberdeenshire, Scotland, Aug. 10-13.
Alex Fitzpatrick claims maiden European Challenge Tour title at St Mellion
England’s Alex Fitzpatrick carded a final-round 68 to claim his first win on the European Challenge Tour as he sealed victory at the British Challenge presented by Modest! Golf Management at St Mellion.
The 24-year-old, the younger brother of 2022 US Open winner Matt, finished five shots ahead of the field on 12 under par to build upon his share of 17th place at the Open two weeks ago.
Fitzpatrick, who climbed to seventh place on the Road to Mallorca Rankings to close in on promotion to the DP World Tour as a result, said: “I’m ecstatic. I feel like I’ve been playing some decent golf and I’ve been putting in a lot of work. It’s just nice to see it finally pay off.
“Sunday is always tough. You know people are going to make a move and luckily I was the one that did. I couldn’t be happier.”
Fitzpatrick, who started the day three strokes behind overnight leader Stuart Manley, birdied two of his opening four holes to close the gap to one, and then picked up further shots at the 12th and 13th to ease home despite a bogey on the 15th.
Compatriot Ross McGowan finished in a tie for second with Welshman Manley and Frenchman Tom Vaillant on seven under.

A golfer called Fitzpatrick claims tour title — and it isn’t Matt
Alex Fitzpatrick. European Tour Group
Alex Fitzpatrick is a winner on the European Challenge Tour for the first time after producing an outstanding final day charge to win by five strokes at the British Challenge at St Mellion.
The Englishman, brother of former US Open champ Matt,who finished tied 17th at The 151st Open at Royal Liverpool Golf Club two weeks ago, registered a four-under round of 68 to go with rounds of 72-66-70 to reach 12-under for the week and win by five shots ahead of Welshman Stuart Manley, Frenchman Tom Vaillant and fellow Englishman Ross McGowan who shared second.
The 24-year-old carded just four bogeys all week in testing conditions in Cornwall, and catapults him into seventh place on the Road to Mallorca Rankings to close in on promotion to the DP World Tour.
Fitzpatrick was delighted to secure a maiden win on the Challenge Tour having come close on several occasions already in 2023.
“I’m ecstatic,” he said. “I feel like I’ve been playing some decent golf and I’ve been putting in a lot of work. It’s just nice to see it finally pay off.
“Sunday is always tough. You know people are going to make a move and luckily I was the one that did. I couldn’t be happier.
“Over the past year on the Challenge Tour, I feel like I’ve put myself in contention quite a lot. I did it in India and in the Netherlands but not got it over the line. It’s been an amazing week and I’m very happy to get it done.”

Fitzpatrick started the day three strokes behind overnight leader Manley, but birdied two of his opening four holes to close the gap to one. After Manley bogeyed the sixth, Fitzpatrick took the outright lead for the first time on the following hole with a gain at the seventh.
The Englishman then added back-to-back birdies on 12 and 13 to move clear and despite a bogey on the 15th, he parred his way home to secure a resounding win on a course that he admits provided a tough challenge all week.
“I bogeyed the 18th on day three, but before that I’d gone 48 holes without a bogey, which around this course is pretty good,” he added. “It’s a tough golf course as it’s so tight off the tee. You’ve almost got to pick the widest part of the fairway to aim at, and then be sensible when approaching the greens and try to make your birdies from there.
“It was tense to be honest. I didn’t know where I was until I came off the 13th green where I holed a really good putt. At that point, I just had to know where I was. Our target at the start of the day was to get to 13-under par, and I was close enough.”

Scotsman Euan Walker, who won at St Mellion in 2022, finished fifth on six-under par alongside Italian Andrea Pavan and Englishman Ashley Chesters. Englishman Josh Hilleard and Hamish Brown from Denmark were one shot further back in eighth.
South African Casey Jarvis remains at the top of the Road to Mallorca Rankings on 1,131 points, with Frenchman Ugo Coussaud in second on 995. Manley’s second place finish this week sees him enter the top ten for the first time this season.
The Road to Mallorca now heads to Aberdeenshire for the Scottish Challenge from August 10-13.

European Tour: Fitzpatrick set to follow brother’s footsteps on pro debut in Ireland
06/29/2022 by Alexandra Caspers
Alex Fitzpatrick ready to follow in his brothers footsteps at the European Tour’s Irish Open 2022.

Alex Fitzpatrick will follow in his brother Matt’s footsteps when the Englishman makes his professional debut this week at the Horizon Irish Open, the same tournament in which the recently-crowned U.S. Open Champion entered the paid ranks in 2014.
The Fitzpatrick family made global headlines less than three weeks ago when the older of two brothers, Matt, claimed a maiden Major title at The Country Club in Brookline, prompting emotional scenes on the 18th green with Alex, along with their parents Russell and Sue.
Having watched his brother make history in Boston, 23-year-old Alex is now ready to make his own mark on the professional game as he plays his first event as a professional at Mount Juliet Estate – following an impressive amateur career which included Walker Cup appearances in 2019 and 2021.
He has already had some experience among the professional elite – making the cut as an amateur at last year’s Cazoo Open supported by Gareth Bale, before playing at the PGA TOUR’s Valspar Championship three months ago.
Matt Fitzpatrick claimed a share of 29th position when he made his own professional debut at the island of Ireland’s national open eight years ago, kicking off a career which has thus far yielded a Major title among seven other DP World Tour victories.
Australia’s Lucas Herbert will return to Mount Juliet Estate this week to defend the title he won in wire-to-wire fashion last year, while Tyrrell Hatton will be targeting his first win of the 2022 season in an event at which he has already claimed two top five finishes.
Player quotes:
Alex Fitzpatrick: “I found out about the invite probably two or three weeks ago, I was incredibly excited.
“So obviously it’s funny, following in your brother’s footsteps but sometimes that isn’t a bad thing, especially the route that he’s gone. Hopefully it might open a few doors, but if it doesn’t, I still have to play good golf and if I don’t play good golf, then doors will be shut. Just all about enjoying myself and working hard and hopefully get some good results.
“We’re different in a lot of ways. Our games are completely different. I would say he’s a great driver of the golf ball and a great putter, and I would say my iron and short game would be better than his, which is hard to say when he’s just won the U.S. Open. I think if we were one player, we would be pretty good as well.
“Mainly he tells me all the time, “Hit it straight and you’ll be just fine.” If I can start doing the same stuff he does, then hopefully I’ll be fine.
“I’ve got a great caddie this week in Martin, one of Billy Foster’s friends. Incredibly knowledgeable and incredibly funny as well. So I noticed he was a Leeds fan, so giving each other a bit of stick about that.”
Lucas Herbert: “It’s pretty sweet to be back. Just getting around the property, seeing it all again, bringing back memories from last year, it’s pretty nice.
“I just went to play the back nine now and hit a lot of the shots that I sort of remember hitting last year.
“I feel like I’ve watched the highlights so many times; all the pins are right there in the back of my memory so distinctly. It’s been kind of nice to get back and just have a bit of a stroll down memory lane.
“This year it’s just finding that consistency has been tough. I feel I turned a little bit of a corner. The game feels like I have the ability to hit the shots. It’s just putting everything and the structure in place around it to produce a little bit more of that consistency. I think we’ve turned a corner.
“Most of our practice round today we were discussing the crowd, how excited, especially around 14 green, how excited they were getting.
“They are always really respectful. Obviously they are getting pretty vocal for me last year but I feel like they are really respectful. They knew when to clap and when not to and in terms of what a good shot looked like.
“This week and the next two weeks in Scotland and The Open, everyone on Tour knows they are some of the best crowds on Tour. They appreciate good golf when they see it. It’s something I’m definitely looking forward to having around again this year.”
Tyrrell Hatton: “The course seems good. Obviously had quite a bit of rain over the last few days so it’s pretty soft out there, which is to be expected. It should be a fun week.
“The U.S. Open and the week prior wasn’t great. I did a bit of work with my dad last week to get back to how I should be swinging it. We’ll see come Thursday if I’m able to play a bit better, but I’ll try my best.
“That was obviously amazing watching Fitzy win there. Obviously delighted for him and his family, his whole team, it’s brilliant. It would be nice if we could kind of follow in his footsteps now.
“I’d say it definitely motivated me last week out there and try and sort my swing out again rather than just going through the motions.
“If I can have a good week here, hopefully that leads into a good week at the Scottish and The Open. Like I said, we’ll be trying our best to play well.”

Sibling Rivalry
‘It’s gonna be a nightmare for my parents’: Matthew Fitzpatrick reacts to looming duel with brother Alex at the OEM
A fascinating subplot is brewing at the Omega European Masters heading into the weekend. After the second round at Crans Montana, 2022 U.S. Open champion Matt Fitzpatrick (12 under) sits atop the leaderboard. Fitzpatrick, who turned 29 on Friday, has been a late-tee-time regular on the PGA Tour the last few seasons, so that’s no real surprise. A mere two strokes behind him in second place, however, is a very interesting name:
Alex Fitzpatrick .
Yes, as in Matt's little brother Alex Fitzpatrick. Needless to say, this sets up a juicy battle in Switzerland. Golf fans will get to watch a sibling rivalry play out in real time with more than $450,000 on the line. Obviously Matt, who has won this event twice before, was asked about the brotherly battle after his round on Friday, and from the sound of things, he's still not sure how to feel about it.
RELATED: Alex Fitzpatrick picks up maiden pro win, promptly drops underrated 'Happy Gilmore' quote
“It’s going to be a nightmare for my parents.” You can say that again, Matt.
If you think the pair are conflicted about competing against each other this weekend, just imagine being mom and pop Fitzpatrick. On one hand, Alex—who has spent much of his season on the Challenge Tour despite a strong showing by the 24-year-old at Royal Liverpool in July—is hunting for his first DP World Tour win. On the other, well, we all know how much parents love their first-borns. It’s a tough one.
There is another way to look at it, though. While this may seem like a lose-lose, it doesn’t take a pair of rose-colored glasses to see it as a win-win. Either way, the Fitzpatrick elders walk away winners, content in the knowledge they raised two talented, upstanding young men. Unless, of course, Romain Langasque steals it. Now that really would be a nightmare.

Performances.
An Open debut for the younger brother of last year’s US Open champion Matt. Having watched that triumph from outside the ropes, Alex made it to Royal Liverpool by finishing in a share of fourth place on July 4 in the 36-hole Final Qualifying event at West Lancashire, where there were five places up for grabs in a field of 72.
In 2018 he reached the final of the Spanish International Amateur and was a quarter-finalist at the US Amateur, the event won by Matt five years earlier.
Alex played college golf at Wake Forest University, represented England when they were silver medallists at the 2019 European team championship, finishing joint fourth individually, and then played in the 2019 and 2021 Walker Cup matches, the first of them at Hoylake.
He reached fourth on the world rankings before deciding to follow Matt into the professional ranks. Alex went into Final Qualifying 632nd on the world rankings, with a best finish this year of joint third at the European Challenge Tour’s B-NL Trophy.

Fitzpatrick was delighted to secure a maiden win on the Challenge Tour having come close on several occasions already in 2023.
A delighted Fitzpatrick: "I'm ecstatic. I feel like I've been playing some decent golf and I've been putting in a lot of work. It's just nice to see it finally pay off.

Daniel Brown secured a maiden DP World Tour title with an impressive five-shot victory at the ISPS Handa World Invitational.
Brown overcame an early wobble and mid-round bogey run to post a one-under 69 at Galgorm Castle, one of two courses used at an event sanctioned by the DP World Tour, LPGA Tour and Ladies European Tour, to end the week on 15 under.
Alex Fitzpatrick claimed second spot on 10 under ahead of Eddie Pepperell, who finished eight strokes back, while Alexa Pano - on her 19th birthday - snatched the women's title after a dramatic play-off victory on the third extra hole.

Brown took a six-shot lead into the final day of the men's event in Northern Ireland but gave the chasing pack hope when he followed a three-putt bogey at the first by dropping a shot at the third, only to birdie the par-three fifth and fire his approach to tap-in range to add another at the next.
He followed a front-nine 34 by taking advantage of the par-five 10th, only to see his lead cut to three when he bogeyed each of his next three holes.

Pano edges dramatic play-off
Pano secured her maiden LPGA Tour title with a dramatic play-off victory, as Gabriella Cowley narrowly missed out after forcing her way into extra holes.
Cowley produced an eagle-birdie finish to card a final-round 70 and move to eight under alongside Henseleit and Pano, who birdied her final two holes to card a six-under 66.

The players returned to the 18th for a play-off, where Henseleit was eliminated with a par as her two playing partners made birdie, while Cowley appeared to have the advantage on the second play-off hole when Pano was forced to pitch out from the trees.
Cowley three-putted from long range, including a squandered birdie look from inside four feet, to match Pano's par, before the American sealed victory with a two-putt birdie on the next play-off hole.
"I've been saying for like two months now that I really wanted to win this event because it's on my birthday and it feels so surreal that it's happened," Pano said.
Ryann O'Toole finished a stroke back in fourth ahead of Olivia Cowan, while pre-tournament favourites Georgia Hall and Leona Maguire both finished in a share of 16th.

Fitzpatrick brothers set for showdown over weekend at european masters.
- Associated Press ,
- Associated Press
CRANS-MONTANA, Switzerland — The Fitzpatrick brothers have set up a family showdown over the weekend at the European Masters.
Matt Fitzpatrick, seeking a high finish to secure an automatic place on Europe’s Ryder Cup team, shot 5-under 65 to move into a one-stroke lead. He’s at 12 under par after the second round on Friday at the picturesque Crans-sur-Sierre Golf Club in the Swiss mountains. The 2022 U.S. Open champion was a winner here in 2017 and ‘18.
His brother will be trying to stop him claiming a third victory.
Alex Fitzpatrick, four years younger at 24, also shot 65 and was two shots back in a tie for third place, establishing a great storyline at the European tour event that doubles as the final tournament for Ryder Cup qualification.
“It’s weird competing for a tournament,” Matt Fitzpatrick said. “We never did it as juniors.
“It’s going to be a nightmare for my parents.”
The siblings were in line to be together in the final pairing in Saturday, only for Alexander Bjork of Sweden to shoot 64 late in the second round and move into second place alone, one behind Matt Fitzpatrick.
That put Alex in the next-to-last pairing with Romain Langasque, who also shot 65 for 10 under overall.
Alex Fitzpatrick’s golf career has been in the shadow of his brother’s and he has been there for Matt’s biggest moments. Like last year when he was greenside at No. 18 at Brookline where Matt won the U.S. Open for his first major title, and 10 years ago when he was on Matt’s bag for his victory at the U.S. Amateur on the same course in Massachusetts.
Now he is a top player in his own right, up to No. 166 in the world and recently having finish tied for 17th at The Open in his first appearance at a major.
“He’s my brother but also a competitor, I’m still trying to beat him,” Alex said. “I shot 5 under and didn’t gain any ground today, so that was a little frustrating.
“I’ve played a little bit of golf with him in competitive events now, so it would be fun to go against him.”
Matt Fitzpatrick, No. 8 in the world ranking, requires a finish better than seventh alone to jump above Tommy Fleetwood, who is not playing this week, and take the third and final qualifying place on the World Points List for the Ryder Cup.
The race for the third and final automatic place on the European Points List is also heating up, with Robert MacIntyre (69) — who occupies that spot — getting up-and-down at the last to make the cut on the number.
“I was just standing (over his final putt) there thinking of all sorts,” said the Scottish player, who looks vulnerable to be overtaken on what would be a cruel finale to the Ryder Cup qualifying race.
Adrian Meronk of Poland needs at least a runner-up finish to overtake MacIntyre and was in second place as he teed off on No. 18. He hooked his drive into a tree and had to reload on the tee, eventually making double bogey.
He shot 64 and was in a tie for fifth, three off the lead alongside Ludvig Aberg (67), the Swedish rookie hoping for another good finish to convince Europe captain Luke Donald to give him a wild-card pick.

2024 PGA Championship tee times, pairings: Complete schedule on TV, groups in Round 1 on Thursday at Valhalla
A number of star-studded groups will be featured throughout the first round of the 106th pga championship in louisville.
The 2024 PGA Championship has arrived, and so have the tee times for the first day of competition at Valhalla Golf Club. With the second major of the season forthcoming, you not only need to know when your favorites will take the course but how to follow them live throughout the first round. CBS Sports has you covered with a full slate of tee times, though the afternoon session was pushed back to minutes each due to weather. Follow PGA Championship live leaderboard coverage all day Thursday for score updates, weather notices, highlights and much more.
The action heats up right off the bat in Louisville as last year's Cinderella story, Michael Block, is featured in the opening group out to the course alongside Luke Donald and Shaun Micheel at 7:15 a.m. ET. From there, the stars begin to trickle onto the golf course with many big names beginning their first rounds on the 10th tee. Louisville native Justin Thomas gets the home crowd rocking early and often alongside Masters runner-up Ludvig Åberg and Xander Schauffele at 7:53 a.m. This trio precedes a group of major champions that includes 15-time major winner Tiger Woods, Adam Scott and Keegan Bradley at 8:04 a.m.
Immediately following Tiger's grouping is Rory McIlroy. The last two winners of the PGA Championship at Valhalla will be separated by only 11 minutes across the first two days as the 2014 champion gets going at 8:15 a.m. next to Dustin Johnson and Justin Rose.
History will be on the line just a couple groups later as five-time major winner and reigning champion Brooks Koepka begins his quest for a fourth Wanamaker Trophy alongside Max Homa and the man who still needs one to complete his grand slam aspirations, Jordan Spieth. They begin their journey Thursday at 8:37 a.m.
The star-studded groups are not exclusive to the morning hours as the last three major champions will be paired together in the afternoon. World No. 1 Scottie Scheffler draws reigning U.S. Open champion Wyndham Clark and reigning Open champion Brian Harman at 2:13 p.m. off the first tee.
Other notable afternoon groups include the two right ahead of Scheffler. Collin Morikawa, Phil Mickelson and Matt Fitzpatrick get their championships underway at 1:51 p.m., while Rickie Fowler, Jon Rahm and Cameron Young follow closely behind at 2:02 p.m.
Take a look at the full slate of Round 1 tee times, and check out CBS Sports' detailed PGA Championship TV schedule and coverage guide so you do not miss a second of live action over the next four days. You can also use Kyle Porter's breakdown of the nine golfers most likely to win the Wanamaker Trophy as a refresher of sorts as play kicks into gear Thursday.

2024 PGA Championship: Tee times, groupings announced for Rounds 1-2

Change Text Size
Tee times have been announced for the opening two rounds of the PGA Championship, contested at Valhalla Golf Club in Louisville, Kentucky.
And of course there’s PGA of America professional Michael Block, returning to the PGA Championship after a T15 last year at Oak Hill . Block is one of 21 club professionals in this week's field, joining the top 20 finishers from this year's PGA Professional Championship.
The 156-player field will compete in threesomes off Nos. 1 and 10 tees in the opening two rounds, with morning and afternoon waves, before a 36-hole cut to the top 70 players and ties. There is no cut between the third and fourth rounds. In the event of a tie for first place after 72 holes, there will be a three-hole playoff (Nos. 13, 17 and 18). If still tied, there will be a hole-by-hole playoff on Nos. 18, 13, 17 and 18, repeated.
Here's a look at some notable groupings for the first two rounds of the 106th PGA Championship (all times in ET):
- Michael Block, Luke Donald, Shaun Micheel (7:15 a.m. Thursday, No. 1 / 12:40 p.m. Friday, No. 10). The event's reigning low PGA Professional, Block will hit the first tee shot off No. 1 at Valhalla. He’ll be joined by reigning winning European Ryder Cup Captain Luke Donald (who will also captain the side in 2025) and past PGA Championship winner Shaun Micheel, who won in 2003 at Oak Hill.
- Ludvig Åberg, Xander Schauffele, Justin Thomas (7:53 a.m. Thursday, No. 10 / 1:18 p.m. Friday, No. 1). The precocious Åberg, who finished runner-up at last month’s Masters in his major debut, will look to carry that form to Valhalla. He’ll do so alongside Schauffele, who has notched six top-five finishes in majors but has yet to win one, and Thomas, the Louisville native who has won two PGA Championships (2017, 2022) and would love to show out for his hometown fans.
- Tiger Woods, Adam Scott, Keegan Bradley (8:04 a.m. Thursday, No. 10 / 1:29 p.m. Friday, No. 1). Among Woods’ record-tying 82 PGA TOUR titles is the 2000 PGA Championship at Valhalla, where he took down Bob May in a three-hole playoff for his third straight major title (Woods completed the “Tiger Slam” at the following Masters). He’ll play alongside 14-time TOUR winner Scott, chasing his second major title, and 2011 PGA champion Bradley – who won at Atlanta Athletic Club in his first major start.
- Rory McIlroy, Dustin Johnson, Justin Rose (8:15 a.m. Thursday, No. 10 / 1:40 p.m. Friday, No. 1). Fresh off a dominant win at Quail Hollow, the world No. 2 McIlroy looks to snap a 10-year victory drought in major championships (his fourth and most recent major came in Valhalla in 2014). He’ll compete alongside Johnson, a two-time major champion, and Rose, 2013 U.S. Open winner and 2016 Olympic gold medalist.
- Brooks Koepka, Max Homa, Jordan Spieth (8:37 a.m. Thursday, No. 10 / 2:02 p.m. Friday, No. 1). Last year’s PGA champion Koepka, a five-time major champion, will play alongside Homa – seeking his first major title, but coming off a major-best T3 at last month’s Masters – and three-time major winner Spieth, who looks to complete the elusive career Grand Slam.
- Rickie Fowler, Jon Rahm, Cameron Young (2:02 p.m. Thursday, No. 1 / 8:37 a.m. Friday, No. 10). Fowler, a six-time TOUR winner, has notched 13 top-10s in majors but has yet to break through for his first major title. He’ll look to change that at Valhalla, where he’ll play the first two rounds alongside two-time major champion Rahm and rising star Cameron Young, who has recorded five top-10s in his last eight majors but has yet to win on TOUR.
- Wyndham Clark, Brian Harman, Scottie Scheffler (2:13 p.m. Thursday, No. 1 / 8:48 a.m. Friday, No. 10). The last three major winners will play together in this dynamic grouping, as last month’s Masters champion Scheffler (still alive for the single-season Grand Slam) will compete alongside last year’s U.S. Open champion Clark and The Open winner Harman.
Here’s a look at all groupings for the opening two rounds at the 106th PGA Championship.
