- Briton earns second PGA Tour title
- Becomes second Englishman to win competition after Nick Faldo
Matthew Fitzpatrick has claimed his first win since last year’s US Open, winning the RBC Heritage at the third playoff hole at Harbour Town, after a thrilling duel with three-time major winner Jordan Spieth for the title.
Fitzpatrick became the first Englishman to win the tournament since Nick Faldo in 1984 after Spieth cruelly lipped out a $5.4 million putt to fall heartbreakingly short of becoming just the tournament’s fourth-ever back-to-back winner.
