The Fitzpatrick brothers are taking the PGA Tour by storm—and this week at Quail Hollow, it's the younger sibling stealing the spotlight.

Just two weeks after teaming up with his brother Matt to win the Zurich Classic, Alex Fitzpatrick is thriving with his newly secured PGA Tour exemption through 2028. The 27-year-old from Sheffield, England, is making the most of his job security, finishing tied for ninth at last week's Cadillac Championship and now leading the Truist Championship heading into the final round.

While Alex credits his brother as "the best golfer in the world" for this incredible opportunity, there's something special happening at Quail Hollow this week. Despite the rowdy crowds that Matt has faced this season—particularly during heated battles with Cam Young at The Players Championship and Scottie Scheffler at the RBC Heritage—Alex is experiencing a different kind of atmosphere.

"There was some USA chants out there, again, like Matt said, it is what it is," Alex said after firing a third-round 64 on Saturday. "America, it's what you expect, and there is no bad thing about it. If they weren't chanting for their country I would also be concerned."

But here's where it gets interesting: Alex believes his Wake Forest connections are giving him a home-field advantage. He spent four years with the Demon Deacons, even playing alongside Cam Young during the 2018/19 season. That college bond is paying dividends in Charlotte, North Carolina.

"Yeah, there is a lot of Wake people out here, which was super cool," Alex shared. "Definitely made me feel more at home than other places."

With that kind of support and momentum, the Fitzpatrick family might just have another champion to celebrate this weekend.
