PGA Tour - RBC Heritage              

England's Matt Fitzpatrick has spectacularly clinched the RBC Heritage title, defeating world number one Scottie Scheffler in a tense sudden-death playoff at Harbour Town Golf Links. Despite squandering a three-shot lead in the final round with a one-under 70 to Scheffler's charging 67, the 31-year-old maintained his composure as both men finished regulation play tied at 18-under par. Returning to the notoriously difficult 18th for the first playoff hole, Fitzpatrick silenced a fiercely partisan American crowd by firing a magnificent 4-iron over the bunker to within 13 feet of the pin, whilst Scheffler’s approach fell well short. The Englishman then coolly sank the birdie putt to secure his second victory at the South Carolina tournament, an event he fondly remembers from childhood family holidays. The triumph marks his fourth PGA Tour win and catapults him to a career-high world number three ranking, leaving Scheffler to settle for his second consecutive runner-up finish.
