Matt Fitzpatrick is a playoff winner at Harbour Town again with a familiar ending against an American favorite.
This time it was the world's best player he took down at the RBC Heritage.
Fitzpatrick made a 13-foot birdie putt to beat Scottie Scheffler after hitting 4-iron to the tough 18th on the first extra hole.
It was similar to when he hit 9-iron to inches away to beat Jordan Spieth three years ago.
Scheffler shot 67 to make up a three-shot deficit over the last four holes.
Fitzpatrick shot 70 after his only bogey on the 18th hole in regulation.
