Matt Fitzpatrick edged world No 1 Scottie Scheffler in a sudden‑death playoff at Harbour Town Golf Links, snapping a shaky final round to clinch his second PGA Tour title of the season. The Englishman opened the day with a three‑shot cushion, then added two birdies in the first three holes to keep the lead alive.

By the weekend’s close, Fitzpatrick’s 18‑under tally slipped to 18 after a bogey on the final par‑four, ending a streak of 14 straight pars that had seen him dominate the overnight leaderboard. Scheffler, meanwhile, surged with back‑to‑back birdies to level the score and force the playoff.

On the first playoff hole, Fitzpatrick fired an approach to 12 feet and holed a birdie to win his second RBC Heritage title in four years. The victory catapulted him to a career‑high world No 3 ranking and marked only the fourth time an Englishman has secured multiple PGA Tour titles in one season.

The win sets Fitzpatrick up for the upcoming Zurich Classic of New Orleans, where he will team with brother Alex. Scheffler’s runner‑up finish follows a near‑miss at The Masters, while other contenders like Collin Morikawa and Ludvig Åberg ended the week solidly. The results will shape the final stretch of the PGA Tour calendar.
