- Matt Fitzpatrick secured his second RBC Heritage title, defeating world number one Scottie Scheffler in a play-off on Sunday.
- The English golfer holed a 12-foot birdie putt on the first extra hole to claim his second PGA Tour victory within a month.
- Fitzpatrick's win was achieved despite a pro-American crowd, and he admitted the US fans “spurred me on” following controversy at last year’s Ryder Cup at Bethpage Black where some European players were targeted by unsavoury chants.
- He became only the third Englishman, after Justin Rose, Sir Nick Faldo, and Luke Donald, to win multiple times in a single PGA Tour season.
- This victory elevates Fitzpatrick to a career-high third position in the world golf rankings.
