Fitzpatrick Brothers Make History with Back-to-Back Tour Wins
Alex Fitzpatrick has claimed his first DP World Tour title at the Hero Indian Open, creating a remarkable chapter in golf history just a week after his older brother Matt triumphed on the PGA Tour. The two English siblings are now the first brothers ever to secure victories in consecutive weeks across the world’s top professional golf tours.
The final round in Delhi was a dramatic spectacle. Alex started four shots behind defending champion Eugenio Chacarra and early setbacks saw him fall six strokes back after five holes. But the 27-year-old mounted an extraordinary comeback, firing eight birdies across twelve holes. His precision, patience and nerves of steel turned the tables as Chacarra began to crumble under pressure, dropping bogeys at critical moments from the 15th hole onward. By the 18th, Alex had built a decisive four-shot lead, sealing victory with a three-under 69, finishing nine under par.

Chacarra, who had shown promise in earlier rounds, struggled to maintain consistency. His early bogeys and a series of errors in the final stretch handed the advantage to Fitzpatrick, leaving Chacarra in second place at seven under, while England’s Andy Sullivan, France’s Ugo Coussaud and South Africa’s M.J. Daffue shared third at five under. The shift in momentum highlighted not only Alex’s skill but the intense psychological demands of high-level golf.
This victory marks a significant milestone for Alex, achieved on his 87th DP World Tour start. It comes amid a week of celebration for the Fitzpatrick family, as Matt had just secured a one-shot win at the Valspar Championship in Florida. Alex described the achievement as emotionally overwhelming, noting that he would celebrate simply with family, friends and a glass of Coca-Cola—a small gesture following a marathon of focus and resilience.
The Fitzpatrick brothers’ back-to-back wins resonate beyond the family. They underscore England’s growing prominence in global golf and set an inspiring benchmark for sibling success in professional sports. Fans will now look ahead to upcoming tournaments, including The Masters at Augusta National and the Volvo China Open, where both brothers will likely carry momentum and confidence.
For viewers tracking the DP World Tour and PGA Tour, this story is a vivid reminder of how quickly fortunes can shift on the course and how determination can turn early setbacks into historic triumphs.
