HOYLAKE, England – Two sets of brothers will tee it up in the year’s final major.
The Hojgaard twins, Rasmus and Nicolai, have become fixtures on the DP World Tour, but The Open’s return to Hoylake is also a family affair for the Fitzpatricks.
Matt, the world No. 9, is being joined in the field by his younger brother Alex, who earned one of the five spots at a final Open qualifier two weeks ago at West Lancashire.
This will mark Alex’s first major championship start – a decade after Matt made his Open debut at Muirfield, where he earned the silver medal as the low amateur.
