Matt Fitzpatrick Defeats Scottie Scheffler In Playoff To Win RBC Heritage

SIX REMAIN

Matt Fitzpatrick has been solid as a rock today and, at the 12th, he makes a great par to remain three clear of Scottie Scheffler and Si Woo Kim.

Pivotal moments have been aplenty, with one of those being at the 11th, with Fitzpatrick holing a 15-footer to save par and remain ahead of the chasing pack.

At the 13th, Scheffler finds the fairway perfectly, while Fitzpatrick follows him with a delightful stinger.

SI WOO CHECKING IN ON THE ACTION

ABERG TO 15-UNDER

It's yet another great performance for Ludvig Aberg this week, who birdies the par 5 15th to move to 15-under and into solo fourth.

FITZPATRICK AIRMAILS THE GREEN

The wind is swirling at Harbour Town Golf Links and, at the 13th, Scheffler goes long of the green, finishing on the fringe.

Because of the mistake, the door is ajar for Fitzpatrick, but the Major winner goes even further past the green, with his wedge flying over the back and leaving a tough up-and-down.

WHAT WAS THAT?

Wow... After his birdie at the 15th, Aberg snap hooks his tee shot well left at the 16th and is forced into a provisional.

Not sure if his first is out of bounds but, given how left it was, I wouldn't be surprised. Big mistake for the Swede!

PARS AT THE 13TH

Despite poor second shots, both Fitzpatrick and Scheffler make convincing pars, with the Major-winning pair remaining at 19-under and 16-under. Fitzpatrick is three clear with five to play.

WIND CAUSING HAVOC

The wind is gusting at the RBC Heritage and, at the par 3 14th, Scheffler's tee shot barely clears the water short of the green.

Having watched his playing partner come up short, Fitzpatrick goes up a club and plays a delightful approach into the heart of the green. Excellent from the leader.

FOUR-WAY TIE AT 13-UNDER

Aberg makes a double bogey at the 16th, while Harris English caps his round off with a bogey at the 18th.

It means both join Collin Morikawa and Bud Cauley at 13-under, which is a share of fourth.

BIG SAVE FOR SCOTTIE

A poor tee shot is followed by a poor chip from Scheffler, who is destined to make a bogey at the par 3 14th.

The World No.1, though, is gritty, and he rolls in an eight-footer for par to keep his card clean. He remains 16-under and two-under for the day.

Alongside Scheffler, Fitzpatrick makes a comfortable two putt to remain at 19-under, three clear of Scheffler and Kim.

FAIRWAYS FOUND AT 15

Both Scheffler and Fitzpatrick find the fairway at the par 5 15th, with both in a good position to, potentially, go at the green in two.

SI WOO TO 17-UNDER

Having laid up with his second shot at the par 5 15th, Kim plays a great pitch and holes his birdie putt to move to 17-under.

He is now two back of Fitzpatrick, who is on the fairway at the 15th.

FITZ AND SCOTTIE AT THE 15TH

Having spoken about the shot for some time, Fitzpatrick opts to lay-up but pushes his approach right of the fairway, finding the second cut.

Scheffler, meanwhile, pounds his fairway wood over the trees and finds the greenside bunker. You expect him to get that up-and-down, so it's pressure on Fitzpatrick, who is 120-yards away.

PAR FOR SCOTTIE

SCOTTIE MOVES WITHIN TWO

Fitzpatrick finds the green with his third at the par 5 15th, with the Englishman two putting for a par.

Scheffler, meanwhile, produces a gorgeous bunker shot that runs out to four-feet. The World No.1 rarely misses those and, with his putt, he rams it home to move to 17-under.

Scheffler is now two back of Fitzpatrick, who is 19-under.

WOODLAND HOLES OUT AT THE LAST

Shot of the day from Gary Woodland!

That's an incredible shot from the Major winner, who holes out from 205-yards for an exceptional eagle.

He had been in a tie for 16th but, with that hole-out, he moves into a tie for eighth. Unreal shot from the American!

PRESSURE FROM SCOTTIE

He's not going away!

Scheffler plays a great shot from the fairway bunker at the 16th, with the World No.1 leaving nine-foot for a birdie.

Fitzpatrick, meanwhile, is short of the green and faces a tough two putt.

SHOT OF THE YEAR

ANOTHER BIRDIE FOR SCOTTIE

Fitzpatrick produces a good putt that finishes inches away, with the par guaranteed.

Scheffler, meanwhile, makes the most of his approach, as the American rolls in the birdie putt to move to 18-under.

He's within one of Fitzpatrick!

FITZY ON THE GREEN

Scheffler pushes his approach right at the par 3 17th, but should have a relatively straightforward up-and-down coming up.

Stepping up is Fitzpatrick and, once again, he pounds his iron shot to the heart of the green.

Pars are likely, but you never know in these late stages...

HERE COMES SCOTTIE

PAR FOR FITZPATRICK

Excellent work from Fitzpatrick, who rolls his birdie attempt to inches of the hole. He remains 19-under.

PAR FOR SCOTTIE

A nice chip is followed by a nice putt, with Scheffler matching Fitzpatrick and just one back of the Englishman playing the last.

BRUTAL FINISH

The wind is up and, consequently, the 18th hole is playing tough!

ADVANTAGE SCOTTIE

Scheffler finds the fairway, while Fitzpatrick goes right and finds the sand at the 18th.

Both have good lies, but Scheffler is closer to the green, albeit well back.

KIM BOGEYS THE LAST

A good week for Si Woo Kim finishes with a bogey, but the South Korean finishes solo third and will be happy with his performance.

MISSES TO THE RIGHT

Both Fitzpatrick and Scheffler see their approach shots go right of the green, with both men leaving near identical chip shots.

Scheffler will hit first, and you like to think Fitzpatrick will learn a lot from his attempt.

EXCELLENT FROM SCOTTIE

Great chip from Scheffler, who runs his shot down to six inches, tapping in for a par and leaving Fitzpatrick with the up-and-down for the victory.

PLAYOFF TIME

Fitzpatrick hits a poor chip and, with his putt from 15-feet, it goes left and stays left.

Tapping in for bogey, Fitzpatrick joins Scheffler at 18-under, with the pair heading for a playoff.

WHO IS YOUR MONEY ON?

TEE SHOTS

Stepping up first, Fitzpatrick finds the fairway, specifically the right-side.

Scheffler, meanwhile, takes out a fairway wood and carves it to right-side, also, with the four-time Major winner leaving a similar distance to that of regulation play.

WHAT A SHOT FROM FITZY

Unbelievable shot from Fitzpatrick!

He has history at the 18th and, from 205-yards, Fitzpatrick plays a stunning long iron that nearly lands in the hole.

He has 14-foot for birdie, putting the pressure on Scheffler.

SCHEFFLER COMES UP SHORT

The pressure is on Scheffler and, with a long iron in hand, the ball balloons up in the air and comes up well short.

Advantage is in Fitzpatrick's favor!

TYPICAL SCOTTIE

Great third from Scheffler, who leaves himself six-foot for the par.

Fitzpatrick will have a putt for the win.

HOW GOOD?!

FITZPATRICK WINS THE RBC HERITAGE
