Let $H$ be the orthocenter of a given triangle $ABC$. Let $BH$ and $AC$ meet at a point $E$, and $CH$ and $AB$ meet at $F$. Suppose that $X$ is a point on the line $BC$. Also suppose that the circumcircle of triangle $BEX$ and the line $AB$ intersect again at $Y$, and the circumcircle of triangle $CFX$ and the line $AC$ intersect again at $Z$. Show that the circumcircle of triangle $AYZ$ is tangent to the line $AH$. Proposed by usjl
