One can only imagine what was going through the heads of Russell and Susan Fitzpatrick as they watched their sons win a PGA Tour event yesterday. All the pride. All the love. All the emotions. It was surely a moment they’ll never forget.

But in the midst of it all, Russell found the opportunity to deliver a delightful little dig at Alex. Because dad’s gotta dad.

You may have missed this one in the aftermath of Matt and Alex’s one-shot win at the Zurich Classic. The duo won in dramatic fashion after Matt’s brilliant bunker shot set up the winning tap-in birdie by Alex.

And that’s where Mr Fitzpatrick came in. As he greeted his boys off the 18th green, he couldn’t resist this playful dagger: “Great putt on the last, Al.” Nailed it. Have a look and listen:

“I thought I was going to miss it!” Alex replied. And, considering how much was on the line – in particular, for him – we understand.

Anyway, we’re glad he was able to convert that putt. And we’re glad they can (dad) joke about it now.
