Matt Fitzpatrick holds off Scottie Scheffler in a playoff to claim RBC Heritage for second win of the season
Matt Fitzpatrick has now won twice in his last three starts on the PGA Tour.
Matt Fitzpatrick wasn’t going to let the lead slip away this time. Fitzpatrick maintained his lead over the field and fended off top-ranked Scottie Scheffler in a playoff to pick up the win at the RBC Heritage on Sunday afternoon in South Carolina. Fitzpatrick posted a simple 1-under 70 in his final round, and went on a run where he made more than a dozen pars in a row.
Though he bogeyed the 18th in regulation, Fitzpatrick landed his approach just past the pin in the playoff to set up a 13-foot birdie putt to secure his win on the 73rd hole of the tournament. HE'S DONE IT AGAIN! Incredibly clutch shot from Matt Fitzpatrick on the first playoff hole 🤯 pic.

6 million check, part of a $20 million purse at the signature event. Fitzpatrick carried a three-shot lead into the final round, thanks to a 3-under 68 on Saturday that was only possible after he sank a birdie putt from off the green and then chipped-in for eagle on the following hole. Scheffler, however, was close behind after he once again jumped into contention on Moving Day.
