RBC Heritage recap

Matt Fitzpatrick had his Heritage moment.

Fitzpatrick, the English golfer who used to vacation with his parents on the island when he was a child, captured the RBC Heritage Presented by Boeing crown by defeating defending champion Jordan Spieth in a playoff at Harbour Town Golf Links.

The win was Fitzpatrick’s second on the PGA Tour.

The dramatic finish to the 55th edition of the event wasn’t decided until the third hole of the sudden death playoff.

On the 18th, Fitzpatrick hit a soaring approach shot that rolled just a few feet from hole, setting up a tap-in for a birdie and the title. Fitzpatrick and Spieth each finished 17-under to force the playoff, where each parred the first two playoff holes.
