WEBVTT

00:08.133 --> 00:09.175
[Alex Fitzpatrick groans]

00:11.177 --> 00:13.596
Yeah, is it Carpool Karaoke we're doing?

00:13.680 --> 00:14.639
[man chuckles]

00:16.182 --> 00:18.601
-Put some songs on and we'll sing to it?
-[man] Start singing.

00:18.685 --> 00:20.895
[suspenseful music playing]

00:20.979 --> 00:22.772
[cheering and applause]

00:22.856 --> 00:27.026
[announcer] And Matthew Fitzpatrick
is a champion at the Country Club!

00:27.110 --> 00:29.154
[USGA official] Matt Fitzpatrick
of England!

00:29.237 --> 00:30.071
[cheering]

00:30.864 --> 00:34.117
I wanna keep it forever.
Not just another year, every year.

00:34.200 --> 00:35.618
I don't want it to go,

00:36.619 --> 00:37.912
but it does need a polish.

00:38.413 --> 00:39.664
Sorry, USGA.

00:40.248 --> 00:41.833
[Dan Rapaport] Life's different for Matt.

00:41.916 --> 00:44.753
When you win a major, you immediately are
in a different stratosphere

00:44.836 --> 00:46.004
than you were before.

00:46.087 --> 00:47.672
He's one of the best in the world.

00:47.756 --> 00:49.174
[announcer] The third ace!

00:49.257 --> 00:50.884
[cheering]

00:51.468 --> 00:53.511
The guy was like, uh, "Matt Fitzgerald?"

00:53.595 --> 00:55.096
[chuckles]

00:55.180 --> 00:58.308
They can't pronounce your name on TV.

00:58.391 --> 01:00.393
-It's your name too, you know.
-[Alex] I know, but…

01:01.311 --> 01:04.105
My name's Alex Fitzpatrick.
I'm Matt Fitzpatrick's brother.

01:04.189 --> 01:05.565
And I'm a professional golfer.

01:05.648 --> 01:06.691
We're gonna discuss that.

01:06.775 --> 01:08.151
[Dan] Alex is the younger brother.

01:08.234 --> 01:11.071
He's going to Europe to try
and move up the professional golf ladder.

01:11.154 --> 01:12.322
[announcer] Alex Fitzpatrick.

01:13.448 --> 01:15.950
This for birdie at 17.

01:16.034 --> 01:17.035
[spectators groan]

01:17.118 --> 01:20.997
I play in the Challenge Tour,
which is the tour below the European Tour.

01:21.081 --> 01:24.250
An American equivalent
would be the Minor League in baseball.

01:24.793 --> 01:27.545
It's just a grind.
You're desperate to get off the tour.

01:27.629 --> 01:28.671
You don't wanna be on it.

01:28.755 --> 01:32.592
[announcer] Matt Fitzpatrick,
a seventh European Tour title!

01:33.176 --> 01:36.262
[Alex] Matt has a lot of things,
if not all the things, that I would like.

01:36.346 --> 01:38.640
Definitely jealous.
That is a no-brainer, yeah.

01:39.432 --> 01:41.810
[Dan] You wanna be living
the life your brother's living.

01:41.893 --> 01:44.479
You wanna be playing the Masters,
the Open Championship.

01:44.562 --> 01:47.440
But you have to earn it.
They don't just hand it to you.

01:47.941 --> 01:51.986
[Alex] It's a goal to get out of
Matt's shadow. Whether it's doable,

01:52.070 --> 01:53.446
I don't know.

02:08.336 --> 02:10.130
[distant conversation]

02:11.756 --> 02:13.174
[Matt] We found some tees.

02:14.425 --> 02:16.553
Sheffield United tees. Good tees.

02:16.636 --> 02:17.470
[chuckles]

02:17.554 --> 02:18.805
[Alex] Unbreakable.

02:18.888 --> 02:19.889
[Alex strikes ball]

02:22.225 --> 02:25.228
[Matt] You are playing
with Sebastián García Rodríguez

02:25.311 --> 02:27.105
and Louis… Louis de Jager.

02:27.188 --> 02:29.649
I don't know who…
I don't know either of them.

02:29.732 --> 02:31.025
No. Too big-time.

02:31.818 --> 02:32.944
All right, time to go.

02:33.444 --> 02:35.321
Let's go. I'm not carrying that bag.

02:36.239 --> 02:37.782
-[man] Can you?
-[Matt] Sure. Yeah.

02:37.866 --> 02:38.867
[Alex] Want me to take it?

02:38.950 --> 02:40.827
-[man] Thank you.
-[Alex] Want me to take it?

02:40.910 --> 02:41.828
No, you're good.

02:41.911 --> 02:42.745
[Alex] Okay.

02:43.913 --> 02:47.792
Being Matt's brother
is great and… annoying.

02:47.876 --> 02:51.379
Probably the best way I can describe it.
It's a gift and a curse.

02:51.462 --> 02:52.589
[woman speaking Spanish]

02:52.672 --> 02:54.924
Sure, yeah. No worries.

02:55.008 --> 02:55.967
[woman chuckles]

02:56.050 --> 02:57.051
[speaking Spanish]

02:57.552 --> 03:00.972
[Alex] The curse of being Matt's brother
is just the constant comparison.

03:01.055 --> 03:02.932
There you go. No worries.
Have a good one.

03:03.725 --> 03:06.811
[Alex] People will reach out and say,
"You're not as good as your brother."

03:06.895 --> 03:08.188
"You swing it really shit."

03:08.688 --> 03:11.441
"You're nowhere near like him,"
and all that sort of crap.

03:12.233 --> 03:13.067
Yeah.

03:13.151 --> 03:16.446
[Alex] When you're constantly
in the shadow of someone all your life,

03:16.529 --> 03:17.614
it's difficult.

03:18.239 --> 03:19.657
[announcer] And here is Fitzpatrick.

03:19.741 --> 03:23.786
He's got his younger brother,
14-year-old Alex, on the bag.

03:25.705 --> 03:26.873
[man] Yeah!

03:26.956 --> 03:29.667
[USGA official] Matthew Fitzpatrick,
the U.S. Amateur champion.

03:29.751 --> 03:31.002
[applause]

03:31.085 --> 03:33.213
[Alex] He won a lot of things
when he was growing up,

03:33.296 --> 03:35.131
and that was difficult for me.

03:38.509 --> 03:40.220
[announcer] He's done it again!

03:40.303 --> 03:43.681
[Dan] It's gotta be tough being known,
really, as Matt's little brother.

03:43.765 --> 03:46.351
Matt is winning all these tournaments,
signing all these deals,

03:46.434 --> 03:49.812
making millions of dollars,
and Alex is kinda just the other guy.

03:50.438 --> 03:52.941
[announcer] The champion
of the United States Open.

03:53.024 --> 03:53.942
[cheering]

03:54.025 --> 03:57.111
[Alex] And you're never given the option
of not following in his footsteps.

03:58.821 --> 04:01.241
I'm just pissed off
from being in my brother's shadow.

04:01.741 --> 04:03.993
[traffic rumbling]

04:08.206 --> 04:09.040
[laughter]

04:09.666 --> 04:11.542
-[man 1] Not a chance.
-[Matt] How are you, pal?

04:11.626 --> 04:13.378
-[man 1] Good week?
-[Matt] George. All right?

04:13.461 --> 04:15.046
-Congrats, mate.
-[Matt] Thanks.

04:15.129 --> 04:16.464
-I'm good. You?
-You all right?

04:16.547 --> 04:18.591
-Yeah, good. Cheers.
-You owe me about a grand.

04:18.675 --> 04:19.717
[laughs loudly]

04:19.801 --> 04:20.635
Here you go.

04:20.718 --> 04:22.595
-[man 2] Congratulations.
-[Matt] Thank you.

04:22.679 --> 04:24.806
-Congrats.
-[Matt] Thank you. It's yours now, lads.

04:24.889 --> 04:27.141
[coach] The U.S. Open champion!
Let's hear it for him.

04:27.225 --> 04:28.268
[applause]

04:28.351 --> 04:29.310
[cheering]

04:30.019 --> 04:31.020
[man 3] Go on, Matt.

04:33.773 --> 04:36.484
Who was the biggest person
to message you when you won?

04:36.985 --> 04:39.153
Uh, probably Michael Jordan.

04:39.237 --> 04:40.655
-Yeah.
-[laughter]

04:40.738 --> 04:43.032
Yeah, that was pretty…
that was pretty surreal

04:43.116 --> 04:46.286
because I just got a text
from "Unknown Number," and it was like,

04:46.786 --> 04:49.038
"Congrats, Matt. Michael Jordan."

04:49.122 --> 04:51.791
And I was like,
"Wait, that's, like, Michael Jordan."

04:51.874 --> 04:53.668
It was just really, really surreal.

04:53.751 --> 04:55.378
[laughter]

04:55.461 --> 04:57.964
[Matt] After I won
the U.S. Open last year,

04:58.047 --> 05:00.633
you know, it's been,
obviously, very, very positive.

05:01.884 --> 05:03.594
I'm just very happy, I think.

05:03.678 --> 05:06.222
I feel very lucky where my life is at
at the minute.

05:06.306 --> 05:08.182
[stadium announcer] Matt Fitzpatrick!

05:08.266 --> 05:09.684
[cheering]

05:11.185 --> 05:13.187
[indistinct stadium announcement]

05:16.190 --> 05:20.236
I don't think recent success
has necessarily changed me as a person.

05:20.320 --> 05:22.905
I feel like I still want to kind of be me.

05:23.406 --> 05:26.743
[interviewer] Do you think Matt
has changed since winning his first major?

05:27.327 --> 05:28.953
[chuckles]

05:29.537 --> 05:33.082
He's changed in that every time
you ask him to do something

05:33.166 --> 05:36.044
and he doesn't wanna do it, he'll tell you
he's the U.S. Open champion.

05:36.127 --> 05:39.797
It's like, "How many majors have you won?"
It's like, "Well, you know, fuck off."

05:39.881 --> 05:41.090
[laughs]

05:42.592 --> 05:43.885
Get in the hole.

05:43.968 --> 05:45.094
Oh, it missed!

05:45.178 --> 05:46.220
[woman laughs]

05:46.721 --> 05:47.847
[Alex chuckles] Shit.

05:48.556 --> 05:49.557
[birds singing]

05:53.728 --> 05:54.812
Uh-oh, reach!

05:54.896 --> 05:56.731
-No!
-That's a great try.

05:56.814 --> 05:58.775
Oh! Right, one-down through two.

05:58.858 --> 06:00.902
Normally, when we're together,
she likes to putt

06:00.985 --> 06:04.113
because that's her strongest part,
or she claims it is.

06:04.989 --> 06:06.199
I'm only joking.

06:06.282 --> 06:07.116
[laughs]

06:07.200 --> 06:08.409
[gentle music playing]

06:08.493 --> 06:10.536
[Alex] My girlfriend's name
is Rachel Kuehn.

06:10.620 --> 06:14.123
I think at the moment, she's ranked fourth
in the world for the amateur rankings.

06:14.207 --> 06:17.293
Incredibly smart girl
and not sure what she's doing with me,

06:17.377 --> 06:18.503
so I'm pretty lucky.

06:19.670 --> 06:21.756
-[Rachel] That's it.
-Oh my goodness gracious!

06:21.839 --> 06:23.716
Oh, you left it short! [laughs]

06:23.800 --> 06:25.134
[Alex] Don't say it, Rach.

06:26.344 --> 06:27.178
[chuckles]

06:27.261 --> 06:30.306
First time I met him, there was something
about the way he carried himself,

06:30.390 --> 06:32.725
which everyone seems to be drawn into.

06:32.809 --> 06:34.435
[Rachel and Alex laugh]

06:34.519 --> 06:37.313
-[sighs] I hope you got that.
-That one gave me the heebie-jeebies.

06:37.397 --> 06:38.231
[laughs]

06:38.314 --> 06:41.192
Yeah, we started talking, and three years
down the road, here we are.

06:42.151 --> 06:43.361
[strikes ball]

06:43.861 --> 06:45.530
No, no!

06:48.116 --> 06:50.701
-Come on, bring it in. Good game.
-I don't want… No.

06:50.785 --> 06:52.203
-Come on.
-Don't touch me. No.

06:52.286 --> 06:53.621
-[Alex] Come on.
-No. No.

06:53.704 --> 06:54.956
[Alex] It's okay to lose.

06:55.957 --> 06:57.041
This is so good.

06:58.709 --> 07:00.878
-I'm thoroughly enjoying this.
-Mm.

07:02.255 --> 07:04.132
[Alex] Did you know there's a tournament

07:04.215 --> 07:06.217
that has a PGA TOUR player
and an LPGA Tour player?

07:06.300 --> 07:08.386
[Rachel] I did. You're ready
for me to turn pro yet?

07:08.469 --> 07:11.305
I've been telling you this for years.
So why don't you?

07:12.014 --> 07:13.099
I'm not on the PGA TOUR.

07:13.182 --> 07:15.101
[Rachel] We'll have to table it
until we're there.

07:15.184 --> 07:18.521
-You'll have to find a better player.
-[Rachel] Is your brother available?

07:18.604 --> 07:19.897
[both laugh]

07:19.981 --> 07:22.692
[Alex] In professional sport,
not a lot of people have comparisons

07:22.775 --> 07:24.485
to brothers or siblings or family.

07:25.486 --> 07:28.489
But Rachel's mom, Brenda Kuehn,
was a really good golfer.

07:28.573 --> 07:31.159
[announcer] This par attempt
to win the Curtis Cup.

07:32.368 --> 07:33.995
-And there it is!
-[cheering]

07:35.538 --> 07:38.749
[Alex] Growing up, we both had
these similar situations.

07:39.333 --> 07:42.545
The big story that always comes up
about my mom is she played

07:42.628 --> 07:45.381
in the U.S. Open in 2001,
eight months pregnant with me.

07:46.048 --> 07:48.134
Basically, I've already played
in the U.S. Open.

07:48.217 --> 07:51.012
-You had an inside-the-ropes pass.
-[Rachel] I basically had… Yeah.

07:51.804 --> 07:55.266
I think it was something that you and I
kind of bonded over in the beginning.

07:55.349 --> 07:58.352
It was like I felt
like I almost had something to prove

07:59.562 --> 08:01.105
to show that I'm my own person.

08:01.189 --> 08:03.941
You always felt like you were trying
to get out of Matt's shadow.

08:04.442 --> 08:06.861
[Alex] And now we're both still
in the shadow.

08:06.944 --> 08:10.448
Absolutely. Still working on it.
I'll let you know when I'm out of it.

08:10.531 --> 08:11.866
[both laugh]

08:11.949 --> 08:13.451
[spectators cheering]

08:13.534 --> 08:16.454
[announcer 1] Welcome to
Championship Sunday at the RBC Heritage.

08:16.537 --> 08:19.040
[announcer 2] The battle is on
in the playoff here.

08:19.123 --> 08:20.249
[suspenseful music playing]

08:20.333 --> 08:23.085
-[announcer 2] Spieth and Fitzpatrick.
-[birds singing]

08:25.880 --> 08:28.049
[announcer 2] Very high
and just left of it.

08:28.758 --> 08:30.760
-Not much!
-[announcer 1] Here's that bounce forward.

08:30.843 --> 08:32.970
[announcer 2] It's right at it!
Keep going!

08:33.054 --> 08:34.347
[cheering]

08:34.430 --> 08:36.015
[announcer 1] What a golf shot!

08:37.683 --> 08:41.270
Matt is an established,
proven entity now in world golf

08:41.354 --> 08:43.981
in a way that you can't be
unless you win a major.

08:44.482 --> 08:46.484
[cheering and applause]

08:49.612 --> 08:50.696
[cheering]

08:50.780 --> 08:53.824
[announcer 2] Harbour Town.
What a great champion.

08:55.034 --> 08:56.744
[cheering]

08:58.162 --> 09:00.206
[indistinct background chatter]

09:00.790 --> 09:03.918
[Dan] A huge goal of his this year
is to not just make the Ryder Cup team,

09:04.001 --> 09:05.127
but to leave no doubt.

09:05.628 --> 09:08.214
That victory has
basically guaranteed him a spot.

09:09.799 --> 09:11.217
[cheering]

09:12.301 --> 09:15.304
-[Matt] Yay!
-[Susan laughing]

09:15.388 --> 09:19.433
I just beat… I'm just getting into form,
ready for next week, pal. All right?

09:19.517 --> 09:22.603
[Alex] You owe me 16 dollars
for my Wi-Fi pass on the plane.

09:22.687 --> 09:23.980
[laughter]

09:25.523 --> 09:26.983
[Alex] Awesome. I'm proud of you.

09:27.483 --> 09:28.859
[Matt and Susan laugh]

09:28.943 --> 09:29.860
I'll put you back on.

09:29.944 --> 09:31.112
-[Alex] Right.
-All right.

09:31.195 --> 09:32.029
[Alex] Call me later.

09:32.113 --> 09:34.782
[Matt] Sorry, I've been…
I've got microphones in my face.

09:34.865 --> 09:36.367
[laughter]

09:42.081 --> 09:44.709
[Alex] Did you know that 9-iron
was going close when you hit it?

09:44.792 --> 09:48.546
-Uh, yeah, it was right on line.
-I was fist-pumping on the plane.

09:49.338 --> 09:51.215
-The guy next--
-Could you watch it on the plane?

09:51.299 --> 09:53.634
-Yeah, I told you I paid for the Wi-Fi.
-Yeah.

09:53.718 --> 09:55.595
So I… so I was fist-pumping…

09:56.387 --> 09:59.056
-The guy next to you was like, "What?"
-Like, "What's this?"

09:59.140 --> 10:00.725
And I was like, "Oh, PGA TOUR."

10:01.475 --> 10:02.893
He was like, "Are you a fan?"

10:02.977 --> 10:05.563
-[Matt] "No, not really."
-I was like, "You can call it that."

10:05.646 --> 10:08.232
Oh, fiddlesticks. I didn't bring my pass.

10:08.316 --> 10:10.610
Why don't you put
Dad's RBC Heritage hat on?

10:11.235 --> 10:12.903
What's he want my hat for?

10:12.987 --> 10:14.196
Are you deaf back there?

10:14.280 --> 10:16.866
Wait till you get to 48. See how you are.

10:16.949 --> 10:18.826
-Forty-eight?
-Forty-eight?

10:18.909 --> 10:21.037
[laughter]

10:24.206 --> 10:25.082
[Matt] This is it.

10:25.166 --> 10:27.668
I'm not sure if you've played
a PGA TOUR event before,

10:27.752 --> 10:29.920
but the registration's
right next to the car park.

10:30.463 --> 10:31.297
Thanks.

10:33.049 --> 10:35.551
[announcer 1] Welcome
to the Zurich Classic of New Orleans.

10:35.635 --> 10:38.512
Food and fun are two defining traits

10:38.596 --> 10:41.682
for this unique team event
on the PGA TOUR.

10:41.766 --> 10:44.060
Your name would look good,
uh, right there.

10:44.143 --> 10:44.977
Right there?

10:45.770 --> 10:47.271
Could you do the face?

10:47.355 --> 10:49.940
[Geno] Buddy, I mean,
I will sign your face.

10:50.024 --> 10:51.984
-…A-L-I-E.
-Thank you.

10:52.068 --> 10:55.571
[announcer 1] There are 80 teams,
made up of two players for each team.

10:55.655 --> 10:58.824
-Again, we're talking about… [chuckles]
-[announcer 2] Best players in the world.

10:58.908 --> 11:01.327
-[woman] Hi, Collin Morikawa.
-Oh, hi, that's me.

11:01.952 --> 11:05.206
[announcer 1] But Morikawa and Homa,
two top-20 players.

11:05.289 --> 11:07.291
[announcer 2] Xander Schauffele
and Patrick Cantlay,

11:07.375 --> 11:10.169
you're talking about
two incredibly accomplished players.

11:11.379 --> 11:14.757
[announcer 1] It is a blast
to watch the best go at it this week.

11:16.342 --> 11:18.886
Coming off last week's huge win
on Hilton Head Island,

11:18.969 --> 11:20.763
Matt Fitzpatrick is at it again…

11:22.932 --> 11:24.558
playing with his brother, Alex.

11:25.851 --> 11:27.269
[announcer 2] Ranked 705th.

11:28.270 --> 11:31.315
[reporter] Alex, how did Matt ask you
to be his teammate for this week?

11:31.399 --> 11:33.442
-[chuckles]
-Everyone was pestering me.

11:33.526 --> 11:36.529
-[Alex] That's basically what it was.
-His coach. My mom and dad.

11:36.612 --> 11:39.031
Yeah, he was kind of
forced into it a little bit.

11:39.907 --> 11:43.411
[Amanda] Matt Fitzpatrick
is coming off a really high-level win.

11:43.494 --> 11:44.704
He's world number eight.

11:44.787 --> 11:47.498
He certainly does not need
to play that week.

11:48.833 --> 11:50.960
-[Alex] Wait till you see this one.
-Here?

11:51.043 --> 11:51.877
[Alex] Yeah.

11:53.003 --> 11:53.963
No.

11:54.046 --> 11:57.550
[Amanda] But it's an opportunity
to provide his little brother the chance

11:57.633 --> 12:01.971
to go on to win that week and earn
a two-year exemption on to the PGA TOUR.

12:02.596 --> 12:03.472
[Matt] Good try.

12:03.973 --> 12:05.433
Just trust that line.

12:06.684 --> 12:08.018
Just hit it on that line.

12:09.437 --> 12:11.355
Being in my shadow, it's hard for him.

12:12.231 --> 12:16.277
So, I don't mind helping him, I think,
until he starts playing on the PGA TOUR.

12:16.360 --> 12:18.237
Then, obviously, my help
might have to stop.

12:22.908 --> 12:25.286
Yes!

12:26.245 --> 12:27.455
Oh, we're so back.

12:28.747 --> 12:30.833
[traffic rushing]

12:30.916 --> 12:32.752
[horn blares]

12:32.835 --> 12:33.752
[chair scrapes]

12:33.836 --> 12:35.588
[Matt] What do you think of New Orleans?

12:35.671 --> 12:38.132
-[Alex] Great food.
-Do you not wanna stay for another week?

12:38.632 --> 12:40.634
Um, I can't. I've got a tournament.

12:41.177 --> 12:42.553
What's next for you?

12:42.636 --> 12:43.846
-Off?
-Off.

12:44.388 --> 12:45.848
Off and then, um…

12:45.931 --> 12:47.892
You gonna win any more majors this year?

12:47.975 --> 12:50.978
Yeah, it'd be unbelievable.
But that's ages away.

12:51.061 --> 12:52.521
We're concentrating on this week.

12:52.605 --> 12:55.649
We've gotta win this week.
This is more important right now.

12:55.733 --> 12:59.195
There's two rules this week.
One is you gotta enjoy it.

12:59.278 --> 13:02.781
The other is there's no "sorries,"
so no "sorry" if you hit a bad shot.

13:02.865 --> 13:05.367
-Or make a bogey.
-Rule number three is no bogeys.

13:05.451 --> 13:08.829
Rule number three is, yeah.
Rule number three is play really well.

13:08.913 --> 13:10.956
-And if you don't, then…
-Enjoy it.

13:11.040 --> 13:12.082
…we'll fight.

13:12.166 --> 13:13.125
[both laugh]

13:13.209 --> 13:14.627
And I'll probably lose.

13:14.710 --> 13:15.711
[Alex laughs]

13:16.837 --> 13:18.172
[suspenseful music playing]

13:18.255 --> 13:21.133
[announcer 1] A beautiful morning
in the Big Easy

13:21.217 --> 13:23.719
for our first round of the Zurich Classic.

13:25.471 --> 13:28.682
We have Max Homa, Collin Morikawa.

13:28.766 --> 13:31.810
Matt Fitzpatrick has
his brother Alex Fitzpatrick.

13:32.311 --> 13:34.188
-[Collin] What up?
-[Matt] How you doing, Collin?

13:34.271 --> 13:36.232
Good to see you. How are you, Max?

13:36.315 --> 13:37.191
[man] Hi, Collin.

13:37.274 --> 13:40.736
My golf ranking is 700 in the world
or something like that.

13:41.320 --> 13:43.948
Collin and Max Homa
are probably, like, nine and ten.

13:44.782 --> 13:46.408
So, it's a little different.

13:46.492 --> 13:47.993
[indistinct chatter]

13:48.077 --> 13:49.954
[Alex] I'm absolutely leveling this one.

13:50.579 --> 13:53.707
-No, I'm not. I'm hitting the fairway.
-I wouldn't mind it if you did.

13:54.792 --> 13:57.711
[Alex] Playing on the PGA TOUR,
that's where I wanna be.

13:57.795 --> 13:59.296
That's where I want to play my golf.

13:59.380 --> 14:01.549
[announcer 1] This guy's gotta be
nervous right now.

14:02.299 --> 14:06.136
[Alex] I want to go there and compete
and not make myself look like an idiot.

14:08.597 --> 14:09.723
-[Matt] Good shot.
-Good shot.

14:09.807 --> 14:10.683
[Matt] Well done.

14:13.310 --> 14:14.144
[man] Good luck.

14:14.228 --> 14:15.437
-[indistinct]
-[man] Well done.

14:18.482 --> 14:21.318
He's going for the green.
Just get ready to duck.

14:21.819 --> 14:22.820
[chuckles]

14:23.404 --> 14:27.867
It's a big jump to suddenly playing
with your brother on the PGA TOUR.

14:27.950 --> 14:29.451
It was just a really good event

14:29.535 --> 14:32.329
for Alex to test himself
against the best players in the world.

14:34.123 --> 14:36.083
I was certainly a bit nervous for Alex.

14:36.917 --> 14:38.252
[spectators groan]

14:38.335 --> 14:39.753
[announcer 1] Maybe some adrenaline.

14:39.837 --> 14:41.797
[announcer 2] Sometimes
it's more difficult as well

14:41.881 --> 14:45.175
because you're trying to live up
to the expectations of your brother.

14:47.511 --> 14:48.345
[man] Nice shot.

14:48.429 --> 14:50.014
[announcer 1] That is a beauty.

14:50.514 --> 14:52.099
That's textbook right there.

14:53.142 --> 14:55.269
Just making it easy on his little brother.

15:00.024 --> 15:02.568
[Dan] Playing in the circuit
puts Alex in the spotlight earlier

15:02.651 --> 15:04.403
than it would have happened naturally.

15:04.486 --> 15:07.823
And he hasn't quite earned his opportunity

15:07.906 --> 15:10.451
to play against the best players
on the PGA TOUR,

15:10.534 --> 15:13.746
and he's getting a chance to this week
because of Matt's success.

15:15.372 --> 15:16.457
And he can't hide.

15:18.876 --> 15:20.294
[announcer 1] It's getting ugly.

15:23.213 --> 15:26.634
It's a little scary, to be honest.
You feel like you're getting judged.

15:28.052 --> 15:32.014
I don't want people to believe Matt's just
picked him because he's your brother.

15:34.975 --> 15:35.809
[caddie] Fore right!

15:36.310 --> 15:37.811
[announcer 1] That's not good.

15:41.273 --> 15:43.275
-That's not good, is it?
-No, it's not.

15:49.073 --> 15:53.869
[Rachel] Alex feels that all the work
he puts into his golf

15:54.370 --> 15:57.748
kind of gets discounted
because of his older brother.

15:59.625 --> 16:01.043
[announcer 2] Right, little brother.

16:02.836 --> 16:03.671
[Alex] Sit!

16:04.171 --> 16:05.172
That was terrible.

16:05.839 --> 16:07.466
[spectators groan]

16:07.549 --> 16:09.718
-[Susan] Terrible.
-[man] One of those days.

16:10.344 --> 16:12.346
[announcer 1] They've not been able
to get it going.

16:13.681 --> 16:17.559
[Rachel] He really wants to feel like
he can belong and that he does belong,

16:17.643 --> 16:20.270
and I know how much time
and effort he's put into it.

16:21.522 --> 16:25.192
So, it was hard to watch him
come off the golf course that last day,

16:25.275 --> 16:27.695
knowing that he felt
like he didn't play great.

16:28.904 --> 16:29.988
[indistinct shouting]

16:30.072 --> 16:31.657
[applause]

16:31.740 --> 16:33.575
[children shouting]

16:34.493 --> 16:35.327
[indistinct comment]

16:35.411 --> 16:37.496
-[Russell] Yeah, it's good.
-[man] You should be proud.

16:37.579 --> 16:39.707
-[Russell] Yeah, I mean--
-[man] Not just at the golf.

16:39.790 --> 16:40.749
Yeah, hopefully.

16:40.833 --> 16:43.335
He lost his temper a little bit on 16, so…

16:43.419 --> 16:44.253
But you know…

16:45.212 --> 16:47.631
-I'll have a word later.
-He'll work it out.

16:47.715 --> 16:49.800
Yeah, he will. Yeah. But he sort of…

16:49.883 --> 16:53.053
-Yeah, it was just… He was great.
-The sky is the limit for him.

16:53.137 --> 16:54.012
-Really?
-Yeah.

16:54.096 --> 16:56.056
He's a good player. He's got the gumption.

16:56.640 --> 16:58.392
It was your first experience, really.

16:58.475 --> 17:00.227
I know, but I just played so bad.

17:00.310 --> 17:02.980
But there's lots
of positives in there, you know.

17:03.814 --> 17:08.360
I'm just annoyed that, like…
silly mistake after silly mistake.

17:08.444 --> 17:11.405
I made silly mistakes
on, like, simple shots.

17:11.488 --> 17:14.199
Like, I don't know.
I never felt like I belonged out there.

17:14.283 --> 17:16.076
You never got anything going,
but that's okay.

17:16.160 --> 17:18.746
-No, but--
-That's golf. You picked the wrong sport.

17:18.829 --> 17:21.915
-I should've stuck to football.
-Should've stayed with soccer.

17:22.583 --> 17:23.792
-Football.
-Soccer.

17:23.876 --> 17:26.545
-Did you enjoy it?
-I had a great time. I'm so glad I'm here.

17:26.628 --> 17:28.088
-I'm glad.
-Thank you for letting me--

17:28.172 --> 17:29.798
[jazz band playing]

17:36.722 --> 17:38.766
-[Matt] I'll see you soon.
-[Alex] Yeah.

17:38.849 --> 17:40.726
Uh, play well next week, all right?

17:40.809 --> 17:44.354
-Yeah, I'll let you know about…
-Enjoy it. Don't get… don't get angry.

17:44.438 --> 17:46.565
[Alex] No. I'll let you know about, um…

17:46.648 --> 17:49.818
I want people to believe
that I can play, that I can compete

17:49.902 --> 17:52.362
with the best players in the world.

17:52.446 --> 17:54.198
[distant motorbike engine roars]

17:54.281 --> 17:56.033
[bag is unzipped]

17:57.701 --> 17:59.745
[Alex] Having people think
and tell me that I can't,

17:59.828 --> 18:02.831
you get messages over Twitter,
Instagram, or you see people post,

18:02.915 --> 18:06.460
and it's like, "This kid's here because
of his brother. He's not good at golf."

18:06.960 --> 18:11.090
Living out of a case for a long time
is, uh… is not the most fun.

18:11.173 --> 18:12.091
[chuckles softly]

18:12.841 --> 18:16.637
I would have liked to have got
a PGA TOUR card, but it's hard to picture

18:16.720 --> 18:19.807
getting to that stage right now
with the situation I'm in.

18:19.890 --> 18:21.433
It feels like a long way away,

18:21.517 --> 18:24.937
but as long as I keep working hard,
hopefully I'll get there someday.

18:29.274 --> 18:31.693
My goal this year is
to get off the Challenge Tour.

18:31.777 --> 18:34.571
I will take this one and this one in.

18:35.072 --> 18:38.534
[Alex] Matt's would be
win lots of majors and lots of tournaments

18:38.617 --> 18:41.912
and become world number one,
so a slight difference in the two.

18:45.040 --> 18:48.043
[announcer 1] Good morning
from Western New York.

18:48.127 --> 18:49.628
The PGA Championship.

18:50.462 --> 18:51.839
[applause]

18:51.922 --> 18:53.215
[shouts of encouragement]

18:53.298 --> 18:58.137
[announcer 1] Couldn't find fairways
yesterday. Fitzpatrick at five over par.

18:59.346 --> 19:03.267
[Matt] Guys who win one major, it's like,
"Oh, he won one major. That's great."

19:03.350 --> 19:05.310
"But did he just have one good week?"

19:08.397 --> 19:10.899
-[announcer 2] He steps in quickly and no.
-[announcer 1] Left.

19:11.400 --> 19:12.359
Missed the cut.

19:12.860 --> 19:14.778
-[announcer 2] And you see…
-[announcer 1] Uh-huh.

19:15.279 --> 19:17.573
[announcer 2] …the realization
lands heavy.

19:18.490 --> 19:19.449
"What have I done?"

19:20.450 --> 19:21.285
Yup.

19:22.661 --> 19:25.664
[Matt] I would love to win a second,
but they're hard to win.

19:26.373 --> 19:27.708
There's four weeks a year,

19:28.208 --> 19:30.669
and you've got to peak
at one of those four weeks.

19:37.843 --> 19:40.387
Obviously, you never wanna miss
a cut at a major.

19:40.470 --> 19:42.764
You never wanna miss
a cut anywhere, but, um…

19:43.724 --> 19:47.978
So it's, uh… Yeah, it's just a bit, uh…

19:48.061 --> 19:49.897
Yeah, it's just very shit.

19:51.857 --> 19:53.692
[woman] Have you spoken
to your mom and dad yet?

19:54.401 --> 19:55.277
-Have I?
-[woman] Yeah.

19:55.360 --> 19:58.155
No, I've not, no.
They're too busy watching my brother.

19:59.823 --> 20:01.700
He's, uh, doing quite well, actually.

20:03.744 --> 20:04.745
[dramatic music playing]

20:04.828 --> 20:06.663
[seagulls crying]

20:06.747 --> 20:10.876
[announcer] It's a beautiful day
for golf here in the UK

20:10.959 --> 20:15.672
as hundreds of golfers
are competing for the last 19 spots

20:15.756 --> 20:18.508
in this year's Open Championship.

20:20.093 --> 20:22.846
[Amanda] For the Open Championship,
there's this Open qualifier

20:22.930 --> 20:27.184
where hundreds of golfers
from all over the world come together

20:27.267 --> 20:30.103
to compete for less than 20 spots.

20:30.187 --> 20:34.983
The makeup is anything from someone
you've never heard of to major champions.

20:35.067 --> 20:38.236
And nothing matters except going out there

20:38.320 --> 20:41.740
and shooting, you know,
the best 36 holes maybe of your life.

20:41.823 --> 20:43.825
[indistinct chatter]

20:43.909 --> 20:46.745
[announcer] Five men are currently
in the qualification positions,

20:46.828 --> 20:49.456
including Alex Fitzpatrick,
the younger brother

20:49.539 --> 20:52.793
of the 2022 U.S. Open champion,
Matt Fitzpatrick.

20:53.794 --> 20:55.671
[Alex] My brother first qualified in 2013,

20:55.754 --> 20:59.341
and then he played every Open
that he's played in ever since.

21:00.092 --> 21:02.386
I was never meant
to play in any majors this year.

21:02.886 --> 21:05.973
[Russell] We were nervous watching Alex
trying to qualify for the Open.

21:06.056 --> 21:07.474
I mean, why wouldn't you be?

21:07.975 --> 21:10.769
It's difficult for Alex
because his brother had done all that,

21:10.852 --> 21:14.815
and Alex had had to see
an awful lot of his brother playing

21:14.898 --> 21:17.567
at various major championships.

21:17.651 --> 21:21.613
Any brother of a relatively
famous sports person

21:21.697 --> 21:23.573
is gonna feel in the shadows, really.

21:24.074 --> 21:27.077
It was probably the first chance
that Alex had had

21:27.577 --> 21:32.165
to step out of that shadow, if you like,
if he managed to qualify for the Open.

21:43.343 --> 21:44.928
[spectators shouting] Yeah!

21:45.012 --> 21:46.722
[cheering and applause]

21:48.265 --> 21:50.767
[Alex] I did manage to qualify
for the British Open,

21:50.851 --> 21:52.936
something that I only dreamed of as a kid.

21:53.020 --> 21:56.481
I'm excited to get going and experience
what it's like to play in one.

21:58.108 --> 22:00.110
[birds cawing]

22:04.489 --> 22:07.951
[man] You playing some proper golf or just
knocking it around or not playing--

22:08.035 --> 22:09.870
-He should be playing--
-Listen to this.

22:09.953 --> 22:13.248
Open qualifying, I'm saying,
"Have you entered Open qualifying?"

22:13.331 --> 22:14.958
He goes, "Yeah, I'm gonna enter."

22:15.042 --> 22:17.502
I said, "You can't,
because the entry date was last week."

22:17.586 --> 22:19.254
-[Matt laughs]
-[James] Regional qualifying.

22:19.338 --> 22:21.548
Yeah, so it's first day.
First day of final stage.

22:21.631 --> 22:22.799
-Two stages for guys?
-Yeah.

22:22.883 --> 22:25.344
-We don't do that. We have one qualifier.
-[James] Straight in?

22:25.427 --> 22:27.137
-You're longer than him.
-[Rachel] Say again?

22:27.220 --> 22:29.264
-You're longer than him.
-[Alex] A lot longer.

22:29.348 --> 22:31.391
She went 290 when I caddied for her.

22:31.475 --> 22:34.311
[Russell] There's no way on God's earth
he can hit a 245 in the air.

22:34.394 --> 22:35.896
-Yeah, good. How are you?
-[James] Good.

22:35.979 --> 22:37.481
Enjoying your English odyssey?

22:37.564 --> 22:38.899
-Or British odyssey?
-Yes.

22:39.483 --> 22:42.861
-[Katherine] How was practice?
-Good. The people were so nice.

22:42.944 --> 22:43.987
He was the local celebrity.

22:44.071 --> 22:47.115
What'd you have? Two people ask
to take pictures and a couple autographs?

22:47.199 --> 22:48.825
It's crazy being Matt's brother.

22:48.909 --> 22:50.577
[all laugh]

22:50.660 --> 22:53.914
[Matt] I was just so happy
when he qualified. Just so, so happy.

22:53.997 --> 22:55.165
Just for him.

22:55.248 --> 22:57.459
Three weeks before,
we were having a conversation

22:57.542 --> 23:00.420
about how he was so disappointed,
and I just told him

23:00.504 --> 23:02.964
just to stick with it,
and keep doing what he was doing,

23:03.048 --> 23:04.299
it'll happen, and it did.

23:04.383 --> 23:07.386
And I think that was just
a huge confidence boost for him

23:07.469 --> 23:08.637
and for us as a family.

23:09.638 --> 23:13.517
-Are you ready for this? I have all these…
-Why is that your screensaver?

23:13.600 --> 23:15.727
'Cause I love it. It's my favorite photo.

23:15.811 --> 23:16.812
[Rachel laughs]

23:17.896 --> 23:19.022
Oh my God.

23:19.106 --> 23:21.024
[indistinct background chatter]

23:21.108 --> 23:23.777
-This picture of Matt.
-Can you zoom in on that?

23:23.860 --> 23:25.654
[Matt] No, you're gonna pay for that.

23:25.737 --> 23:27.280
[Alex] You gettin' that in the camera?

23:27.364 --> 23:29.074
-[Matt] You're all gonna pay.
-Ever see this?

23:29.157 --> 23:30.117
[Russell] No, I haven't.

23:30.200 --> 23:32.744
-Look at this picture.
-[James] Best facial hair I've ever seen.

23:32.828 --> 23:35.414
[Matt] That's true.
I did just shave before you got here.

23:35.497 --> 23:36.540
-[James] Did you?
-Yeah.

23:36.623 --> 23:38.291
-[James] Oh, wow!
-It was so long.

23:38.375 --> 23:40.001
-Goodness me!
-Where was that?

23:40.085 --> 23:43.088
-Okay, that's enough of that. Thank you.
-[laughter]

23:43.672 --> 23:45.465
[seagulls cawing]

23:46.883 --> 23:49.386
[announcer 1] We're live
in northwest England at Royal Liverpool

23:49.469 --> 23:52.681
for the 151st play
of the Open Championship.

23:52.764 --> 23:56.977
[announcer 2] Around here, some
of the greatest sports fans in the world.

23:57.060 --> 23:58.186
They always show up.

24:01.565 --> 24:02.774
[inaudible conversation]

24:03.733 --> 24:04.693
[man] Yeah!

24:04.776 --> 24:05.610
Yes!

24:06.486 --> 24:07.362
Yes!

24:09.030 --> 24:10.532
[man] Matt, can I get your hat?

24:11.199 --> 24:13.577
They'd have got my hat
if they'd called me Alex.

24:13.660 --> 24:14.661
[shouting]

24:14.744 --> 24:18.290
You know, there's only certain times
a year where it's extra special,

24:18.373 --> 24:19.958
and in golf, there's four of 'em.

24:20.041 --> 24:21.168
[man] Good luck tomorrow, J.

24:21.251 --> 24:23.003
[Alex] To qualify for one of them

24:23.086 --> 24:26.715
and to play against every best player
in the world is absolutely amazing.

24:26.798 --> 24:29.176
I'm gonna go out
and enjoy it as much as I can,

24:29.259 --> 24:32.053
see what happens, and hopefully beat Matt.
[chuckles]

24:32.637 --> 24:33.472
[strikes ball]

24:33.555 --> 24:35.724
[applause and whistling]

24:38.143 --> 24:41.646
[man] If you win this week,
I'll be as drunk as a bicycle, promise.

24:42.230 --> 24:43.482
[laughter]

24:43.565 --> 24:45.984
[Mark] I will mandate
you have a cocktail with me.

24:46.067 --> 24:47.569
[Alex] I'd have more than a few.

24:50.238 --> 24:51.156
[applause]

24:51.239 --> 24:54.409
[starter] On the tee,
from England, Alex Fitzpatrick!

24:54.493 --> 24:55.785
[applause]

24:55.869 --> 24:57.871
[tense music playing]

24:59.831 --> 25:02.667
[Dylan Dethier] Unlike the Zurich,
where he got invited by his brother,

25:02.751 --> 25:05.921
there's no shortcut
to qualifying for the Open Championship.

25:06.796 --> 25:09.716
Now he's on one of golf's biggest stages,

25:09.799 --> 25:11.760
and he's gotten there all on his own.

25:15.263 --> 25:17.307
[applause]

25:17.390 --> 25:20.602
[Dylan] There's no better place
to prove that you belong

25:20.685 --> 25:22.145
than at a major championship.

25:25.565 --> 25:27.234
[announcer 1] That's beautifully played.

25:27.317 --> 25:28.527
[applause]

25:28.610 --> 25:29.903
[announcer 1] Fantastic shot.

25:30.487 --> 25:31.863
[announcer 2] And a good par there.

25:37.869 --> 25:39.496
Never looked like it was leaving the flag.

25:39.579 --> 25:42.374
[announcer 1] What a beauty that is.
What a shot.

25:47.212 --> 25:49.130
-[cheering]
-[announcer 3] Nicely holed.

25:49.839 --> 25:51.466
Two birdies to finish that nine.

25:51.550 --> 25:52.551
[applause]

25:56.137 --> 26:00.517
[announcer 2] The most dangerous shot
on the course is the 132-yard 17th hole.

26:04.688 --> 26:06.481
[shouts of encouragement]

26:06.564 --> 26:07.649
[spectators groan]

26:10.318 --> 26:11.695
[announcer 2] Long bunker shot.

26:12.737 --> 26:13.572
[applause]

26:13.655 --> 26:16.908
[announcer 2] That's how you do it.
Nice recovery, I would say.

26:18.159 --> 26:20.078
[Alex] It was a long grind out there.

26:20.161 --> 26:22.747
Seventeen was a tough hole.
I'm not gonna lie.

26:22.831 --> 26:26.501
I made bogey, which was actually
a good thing rather than anything else.

26:28.628 --> 26:32.173
Nice to finish with a birdie
and come in with a little bit of momentum.

26:32.674 --> 26:34.384
-[cheering]
-[announcer 2] Oh yes!

26:34.968 --> 26:38.388
A chance to be a part
of another major story on the weekend.

26:40.140 --> 26:42.559
-[laughter]
-[Alex] Couldn't get them on the green.

26:42.642 --> 26:46.980
-Way to fight. Way to fight, kiddo.
-Six greens is not fun around there.

26:47.063 --> 26:49.691
-I don't know how you did it.
-[Alex laughs] Neither do I.

26:50.358 --> 26:51.318
[man] Come on, Fitz.

26:51.401 --> 26:54.070
[announcer 2] Matthew Fitzpatrick,
whose brother Alex is in the field.

26:54.154 --> 26:57.907
Alex was in the first game off today
and shot a one-under 70.

26:57.991 --> 27:00.243
[announcer 3] Got to play well
to beat his younger brother.

27:00.910 --> 27:04.205
[announcer 2] And there could be
a train wreck on 17 this week.

27:05.206 --> 27:07.250
[spectators groan]

27:09.044 --> 27:11.046
[announcer 2] This doesn't look
like an easy shot.

27:12.714 --> 27:14.633
-[spectators groan]
-[announcer 3] Oh no!

27:14.716 --> 27:17.636
[announcer 2] And that looked
like it went right down in a hole,

27:17.719 --> 27:20.847
and now he's closer to that revetted edge.

27:22.057 --> 27:23.183
[spectators groan]

27:23.266 --> 27:25.644
[announcer 2] And this is gonna be
the worst one.

27:28.938 --> 27:32.275
Well, he got it out into the left bunker.

27:32.359 --> 27:36.321
Well, at least he's got a clean lie,
but now he'll be playing his fifth shot.

27:37.030 --> 27:38.031
Disaster.

27:38.907 --> 27:41.076
With a six here on 17.

27:41.159 --> 27:42.243
[applause]

27:46.831 --> 27:49.751
I'm even more pissed off
because you're right in it,

27:49.834 --> 27:52.045
then you just… play like a twat.

27:52.128 --> 27:53.171
Yeah, but don't…

27:53.254 --> 27:54.172
Don't get…

27:54.673 --> 27:56.132
-Yeah.
-Tomorrow's gonna be…

27:56.216 --> 27:58.510
-Yeah, it's gonna be miserable.
-Freakish day.

27:58.593 --> 28:01.179
-It's gonna be miserable.
-You've dealt with stuff like that before.

28:01.262 --> 28:03.723
-Just let me know if you need anything.
-See you later.

28:05.100 --> 28:06.351
[indistinct chatter]

28:07.060 --> 28:07.894
[Alex chuckles]

28:09.562 --> 28:12.065
[Rachel] Perspective
for a golfer is everything.

28:12.607 --> 28:15.902
So, when you look at a situation,
and you're hopeful,

28:15.985 --> 28:18.196
you're tied for 39th,
you're playing the weekend,

28:18.279 --> 28:21.950
and you have a chance to go out and see
how far up the leaderboard you can climb,

28:22.575 --> 28:25.036
I think when you frame it
like that to yourself,

28:25.120 --> 28:26.830
there's only good things to come.

28:26.913 --> 28:29.207
[tense music playing]

28:29.290 --> 28:32.752
[starter] Good morning, everyone,
and welcome to rainy Royal Liverpool

28:32.836 --> 28:36.464
for the third day's play
of the 151st Open.

28:38.216 --> 28:41.177
[Alex] At the Open, no one
really expected me to make the cut.

28:41.261 --> 28:42.095
[strikes ball]

28:42.929 --> 28:45.890
[Alex] I think playing golf
with no expectations is massive.

28:45.974 --> 28:49.185
[announcer 1] The Fitzpatrick brothers
both here in the field of 156,

28:49.269 --> 28:51.730
as Alex tries to make
the next step in his career.

28:53.022 --> 28:55.358
[Alex] I think there's
a lot of weight on Matt's shoulders.

28:56.025 --> 28:58.069
[announcer 2] Matt Fitzpatrick
for birdie on eight.

28:58.153 --> 28:59.904
[Alex] The more successful you are,

28:59.988 --> 29:02.198
there's gonna be more pressure
for you to play well.

29:02.699 --> 29:05.118
[announcer 2] Matt gets them going
up in that grandstand!

29:05.618 --> 29:09.122
[announcer 3] Brothers leaderboard,
Matt got him by a shot right now.

29:11.583 --> 29:13.585
[Alex] But it's a lot more fun
to go out there

29:13.668 --> 29:15.628
when you know no one expects you to win.

29:17.338 --> 29:18.256
[applause]

29:18.339 --> 29:21.009
[announcer 2] I wonder
if they're checking each other's scores

29:21.092 --> 29:23.762
and having their own little competition
going on between them.

29:26.014 --> 29:28.850
[announcer 4] You know
bragging rights are on the line here.

29:32.604 --> 29:33.438
[cheering]

29:33.521 --> 29:36.441
[announcer 1] Matthew Fitzpatrick
with a nice little round going.

29:36.524 --> 29:38.318
He makes it to get to even par.

29:39.819 --> 29:42.614
[announcer 2] We'll go
from one Fitzpatrick to another.

29:42.697 --> 29:44.407
This is his second into eight.

29:45.033 --> 29:47.202
He just needs
to knock it on the green here.

29:51.164 --> 29:52.248
[man] Go, go, go!

29:52.332 --> 29:53.541
[applause]

29:54.793 --> 29:56.711
[announcer 2] Tell you, that's impressive.

29:57.295 --> 29:58.755
First time in this situation.

30:00.799 --> 30:03.760
[Dan] I don't think Alex
had ever beaten Matt in a tournament.

30:04.344 --> 30:08.223
Alex is probably thinking to himself,
like, "This is a major championship,

30:08.306 --> 30:10.350
and I'm going shot-for-shot
with my big bro."

30:11.309 --> 30:13.186
[announcer 1] For birdie
to get to two-under.

30:13.269 --> 30:14.646
[cheering and applause]

30:16.439 --> 30:17.732
[Russell] Hey, how good is that?

30:18.399 --> 30:21.361
[announcer 1] Little Fitzpatrick!
That's four birdies now!

30:25.240 --> 30:26.074
[applause]

30:26.157 --> 30:28.284
[announcer 1]
Matthew Fitzpatrick finishing up.

30:28.368 --> 30:30.453
So, that's 67 for Fitzpatrick, two-under.

30:33.039 --> 30:34.541
-Amazing.
-Yes.

30:36.501 --> 30:37.418
I couldn't see well.

30:37.502 --> 30:40.505
-Did you birdie the last putt?
-Yeah. You didn't get in?

30:40.588 --> 30:43.967
I couldn't get in, but I heard
them cheering, so I figured it went in.

30:44.050 --> 30:45.468
Amazing job.

30:45.552 --> 30:48.137
-Did you see Alex?
-[Katherine] Alex is killing it too.

30:48.680 --> 30:51.307
[reporter] Seems like a nice afternoon
for the Fitzpatricks brothers.

30:51.391 --> 30:52.600
I'm sure it is for you as well.

30:52.684 --> 30:56.062
Definitely. I'm really pleased for him.
Hopefully, he can carry that on.

30:57.355 --> 31:00.066
[announcer 1] This territory,
where not only the big names have come up

31:00.149 --> 31:02.026
and put up good scores, but others have,

31:02.110 --> 31:04.779
including Alex Fitzpatrick,
Matt's brother.

31:06.155 --> 31:07.824
[Russell] He's tied seventh at the moment.

31:07.907 --> 31:09.450
[suspenseful music playing]

31:09.534 --> 31:13.121
[announcer 1] Seventeen, just 120 yards,
but ever so dangerous.

31:13.830 --> 31:15.290
[Alex] Yeah. Spot-on.

31:15.790 --> 31:17.542
Starting to just right of it, yeah?

31:18.418 --> 31:21.713
You spend your whole life following
in the footsteps of someone.

31:22.213 --> 31:24.716
Definitely would be nice
to forge my own path

31:24.799 --> 31:26.968
and write my name in the history books.

31:29.429 --> 31:32.265
Just trying to make sure
that people see me for me…

31:34.434 --> 31:37.395
and actually think,
"Shit, this guy actually has some game."

31:42.150 --> 31:45.111
-[announcer 1] What a round he's played.
-[announcer 2] Good look there.

31:45.194 --> 31:46.195
[applause]

31:52.827 --> 31:54.704
-[shouts of encouragement]
-[cheering]

31:54.787 --> 31:58.124
[announcer 1] Matthew shot four-under
today. Alex has got a chance now.

32:00.209 --> 32:02.045
-He's playing good.
-He's played great, yeah.

32:02.128 --> 32:02.962
[boy] Yeah.

32:03.046 --> 32:04.172
[applause continues]

32:05.173 --> 32:08.259
[Alex] I'm not in awe of these guys
anymore like I used to be.

32:09.093 --> 32:11.638
I've gone from,
"How am I gonna get off Challenge Tour?"

32:11.721 --> 32:14.349
to, like, "I'm gonna win
the Open Championship here."

32:15.683 --> 32:18.353
[announcer 1] And what a great shot
from Alex.

32:18.436 --> 32:19.604
[applause]

32:20.563 --> 32:24.025
[announcer 3] Matt had
a very good round of 67. This is for 65.

32:27.403 --> 32:28.613
For Alex!

32:28.696 --> 32:29.781
[cheering]

32:29.864 --> 32:33.409
[announcer 3] And Alex Fitzpatrick
is a couple clear of his brother.

32:33.493 --> 32:34.661
What a story.

32:34.744 --> 32:35.828
[applause]

32:44.379 --> 32:45.546
[man] Thanks very much.

32:46.047 --> 32:48.549
-Great round. Well done.
-How'd you get on?

32:48.633 --> 32:50.134
-[Matt] Four-under.
-[Alex] Oh, nice.

32:50.718 --> 32:51.803
Bloody brilliant.

32:52.387 --> 32:54.097
We'll eat good tonight. Well done.

32:55.139 --> 32:56.307
[Matt] Yeah, not bad.

32:56.891 --> 32:58.059
[woman] Good job, Alex!

32:59.769 --> 33:00.812
You too, Matt!

33:00.895 --> 33:02.313
[Matt and Alex chuckle]

33:02.397 --> 33:03.815
-[Alex] Hello, Mother.
-Well done.

33:03.898 --> 33:06.192
-[Alex] Thank you.
-I'm so proud of you.

33:06.275 --> 33:07.819
-[Alex] Hello.
-Hello. Well played.

33:07.902 --> 33:09.237
-[Alex] See you in a sec.
-Great.

33:09.320 --> 33:10.571
[Alex] I've stolen Matt's watch.

33:10.655 --> 33:13.908
Just one question with BBC Television
as well, then we'll do 5 Live.

33:13.992 --> 33:15.493
-[Alex] All good.
-[woman] Thank you.

33:15.576 --> 33:18.579
You're getting more popular. Every time
you come out, there's another request.

33:18.663 --> 33:21.207
-Well done. Oh my God, I loved it!
-Thank you.

33:21.290 --> 33:25.294
-What a putt on 17! This is you.
-Yeah, sorry. I'm not used to this.

33:25.378 --> 33:26.212
Dan, thank you.

33:26.295 --> 33:27.797
I'm alongside Alex Fitzpatrick,

33:27.880 --> 33:30.466
who we just saw birdie
three of his last four holes,

33:30.550 --> 33:33.511
tied the second-lowest round
ever at Hoylake.

33:33.594 --> 33:35.179
What a performance you have put in!

33:35.263 --> 33:37.390
How satisfied are you in this,
your Open debut?

33:37.473 --> 33:41.728
[Alex] I remember the interview questions
were, "Alex, how do you feel like today?"

33:41.811 --> 33:43.312
It wasn't, "How do you feel like?"

33:43.396 --> 33:45.440
"You've beaten your brother."
It wasn't any of that.

33:45.523 --> 33:48.943
Alex, tell me what it's like
to walk off in your first major,

33:49.026 --> 33:52.196
your first Open Championship,
at four-under, on the leaderboard,

33:52.280 --> 33:53.740
with the leaders in your sights?

33:53.823 --> 33:56.159
It wasn't, "Matt Fitzpatrick's brother's
in fourth place."

33:56.242 --> 33:58.286
It's, "Alex Fitzpatrick's
in fourth place."

33:58.369 --> 34:00.038
[reporter] Will it be easy
to sleep tonight?

34:00.121 --> 34:03.207
Another 65 tomorrow and you could be
fighting for an Open title.

34:03.291 --> 34:05.960
I'll go to sleep
a little nervous still, but, um…

34:06.043 --> 34:10.047
No, it doesn't matter how tomorrow goes,
today was, you know, super special,

34:10.131 --> 34:12.175
and, um, I'm just excited to be here.

34:12.258 --> 34:14.093
It's the first day I've felt

34:14.177 --> 34:16.929
like I was starting to become
my own person in the game.

34:17.013 --> 34:19.724
Saturday was the first day I've had

34:19.807 --> 34:22.935
where I feel like I've taken
one step outside of Matt's shadow.

34:24.771 --> 34:26.773
[indistinct background chatter]

34:28.858 --> 34:30.443
-[man] Good morning.
-Good morning, Sam.

34:30.526 --> 34:32.236
-Hey.
-[man] Sleep well?

34:32.779 --> 34:33.696
Like a log.

34:33.780 --> 34:35.198
[chuckles] I didn't, though.

34:35.281 --> 34:36.282
[all laugh]

34:37.033 --> 34:39.452
[Rachel] Sometimes you're just
lucky enough to have those weeks

34:39.535 --> 34:42.622
where you prove it to yourself
and you prove it to the people around you.

34:43.122 --> 34:44.874
And now he goes out and he can play

34:44.957 --> 34:47.960
and not have to feel
like he has to prove anything to anyone.

34:49.587 --> 34:52.089
[announcer 1] Alex Fitzpatrick,
who's got a better number

34:52.173 --> 34:54.509
than his brother so far this week.

34:54.592 --> 34:57.595
[announcer 2] This is a great story.
I hope he has a good day today.

34:58.262 --> 35:01.265
[announcer 3] With a birdie try
at the opener from Liverpool.

35:02.600 --> 35:03.851
[cheering]

35:03.935 --> 35:05.603
[applause]

35:05.686 --> 35:08.439
[Alex] Then Sunday,
at the Open, in contention.

35:08.523 --> 35:10.274
I've got goosebumps thinking about it.

35:10.358 --> 35:11.484
[applause]

35:12.568 --> 35:14.487
[Alex] Obviously, Harman was
miles ahead of me.

35:14.570 --> 35:18.282
But in my head I'm like,
you know, "Like, I'm still in this thing."

35:19.617 --> 35:22.036
[Dan] That was probably really nice
for Alex to experience.

35:22.537 --> 35:24.455
"Two Fitzpatrick brothers
in the field here."

35:24.539 --> 35:27.125
"I have the lowest score,
so the cameras are on me."

35:28.626 --> 35:29.877
[cheering]

35:30.837 --> 35:33.840
[Dan] This was the first week
that people were looking at Alex

35:33.923 --> 35:35.466
as his own player worthy of attention

35:35.550 --> 35:37.510
outside of just the scope of his brother.

35:38.010 --> 35:39.637
[applause]

35:42.348 --> 35:46.435
[Matt] Alex did amazing, with it being
his first major and a lot on the line.

35:46.936 --> 35:49.230
I was delighted. I was so happy for him.

35:50.565 --> 35:53.067
A lot of people come up to him,
"Oh, how's Matt?"

35:53.151 --> 35:54.694
Rather than asking how he was.

35:54.777 --> 35:57.321
But I know how he feels now
'cause people do that to me.

35:57.405 --> 35:59.532
"How's Alex? What's he doing?
Where is he?"

I'm not here to just take part.

37:05.389 --> 37:06.807
I'll see you later, guys.

37:06.891 --> 37:10.645
I think I beat Scottie Scheffler, who was

It was a very good week.

-Really good.
-Thank you. I appreciate it.

[Justin Thomas] The Ryder Cup is one
of the most special sporting events.

37:55.398 --> 37:56.857
It's the fucking best.

37:57.566 --> 38:00.611
It is the coolest event
that we have in our sport, I think.

38:00.695 --> 38:03.614
It's a drug, man. You wanna get back
and you wanna feel it again.

38:03.698 --> 38:07.827
I lay awake at night and can't freakin'
sleep thinking about the Ryder Cup.

38:07.910 --> 38:09.662
I wanna make the Ryder Cup
more than anything.

The Ryder Cup is very binary.
You're on it or you're not.

right on that knife's edge.
