KILKENNY, Ireland – Two weeks after his brother, Matt, broke through for his first major championship victory at the U.S. Open, Alex Fitzpatrick is looking for a breakthrough of his own.

Fitzpatrick is making his first professional start this week at the Horizon Irish Open after a four-year college career at Wake Forest.

“I think especially this week it's about enjoying it. It's your first one. It's hard to go in there thinking, almost like all guns blazing but I'm just hoping to play some good golf and hopefully that will take care of a good result,” Fitzpatrick said on Tuesday.
