PGA TOUR Live Leaderboard and Tournament Results
Hilton Head Island, South Carolina
Matthew Fitzpatrick emerged victorious from a thrilling playoff at the RBC Heritage on Sunday, overcoming a spirited challenge from Jordan Spieth. The Englishman's clutch putting and steady iron play proved decisive in the sudden-death showdown.
The tournament leaderboard had been hotly contested throughout the weekend, with Spieth and Fitzpatrick trading the lead several times. Spieth, the 2015 champion, looked to have secured the victory with a birdie on the par-5 15th, but Fitzpatrick responded with a birdie of his own on the following hole to force a playoff.
In the playoff, Fitzpatrick drained a 15-foot putt for birdie on the first extra hole, while Spieth missed his own birdie putt from a similar distance. Fitzpatrick's victory marks his first on the PGA TOUR since the 2022 U.S. Open, and it solidifies his position as one of the game's rising stars.
