  • Matt Fitzpatrick and Alex Fitzpatrick shot a tournament-record 15-under 57 in better-ball play on Saturday, giving them a four-shot lead heading into the final round of the Zurich Classic.
  • Pre-Dawn thunderstorms saturated TPC Louisiana, prompting officials to implement 'lift, clean, and place' rules that made the course 'very gettable' for the field of 35 teams.

  • Alex Fitzpatrick, who won the Indian Open last month, said the family time together is special: 'It makes it a little nicer that we're playing good golf.
