Not many golfers can stare down Scottie Scheffler in the final round of a tournament, but Matt Fitzpatrick is the anomaly. Fitzpatrick, who held off Scheffler and Will Zalatoris by one to win the 2022 U.S. Open at The Country Club, did so again at Harbour Town G.L., fending off the World No. 1 in a playoff to win the RBC Heritage.

In overtime, Fitzpatrick hit a laser of a 4-iron to 13 feet and won with a walk-off birdie. The club Fitzpatrick used to hit that shot was Ping's i240 with Ping's CFS shaft, a club he platoons with his 7-wood and put back into the bag for the final round.

In winning, Fitzpatrick became the 11th multiple winner of the event, joining, among others, Tom Watson, Johnny Miller and Davis Love III, who won the event five times.

Fitzpatrick put on a U.S. Open-like performance on Sunday. He rolled in an 11-footer for birdie at the first and a 17-footer for another birdie at the third. From there Fitzpatrick grinded his way to a closing parade of 14 pars and a finishing bogey, including a 17-footer for par at the 11th to keep his momentum intact.

“I feel like it can always change in one shot,” Fitzpatrick said of the concept of momentum after the third round. “Yeah, you've got to be on the ball at all times. There's definitely something in it.”
