Believing British golfer Matt Fitzpatrick’s chance of winning the US Open had slipped away, his brother Alex left the course on Saturday and flew home.
But by the time the plane landed Matt was back in contention, so Alex returned to the airport at 5am the next day and hours later was at the 18th hole to see his brother become champion.
Sheffield lad Matt, 27, was given a bear hug by his sibling on the green after becoming only the third Englishman in modern times to win the major title.
