Giving a new meaning to brotherly competition, Carlos and Alvaro Ortiz will go down in history as the first brothers from Latin America to play in the same edition of the U.S. Open.

Carlos, already winner on the PGA TOUR, automatically qualified to the fifth major of the season by making it to the top 60 in the World Golf Ranking, while Alvaro, a member of the PGA TOUR Latinoamerica, earned his spot by finishing 7th in the Final Qualifying stage hosted at Dallas Athletic Club with rounds of 68 and 69.

"It means a lot, it requires a lot of sacrifice, not only for me and my brother, but for my whole family, and it’s really beautiful to have results like these that allow us to play a Major," said Carlos after finishing his round in the Memorial Tournament presented by Workday
