"Fitzpatrick, from Yorkshire, told CBS after claiming the fourth PGA Tour title of his career and second in the space of 28 days after winning at the Valspar Championship last month. I knew Scottie was going to make some birdies down the stretch and I kind of had to hang in there a little bit."
"The only chip shot I found into grain all week was in regulation there (18th). He (caddie Dan Parratt) actually said: Go and get to the tee. We would have taken this at the start of the week."
"I felt I was in a good spot and to hit the four-iron there was out of this world. This was a tournament I wanted to win growing up before any of the majors."
Matt Fitzpatrick secured his second RBC Heritage title by defeating world No. 1 Scottie Scheffler in a playoff. Fitzpatrick maintained a three-shot lead until the 15th hole, where Scheffler's birdies narrowed the gap. A bogey on the 18th forced Fitzpatrick into a playoff. He executed a remarkable four-iron shot to 12 feet, sinking a birdie to clinch the victory after Scheffler's missed opportunity. Fitzpatrick expressed his emotional connection to the tournament and reflected on the competitive nature of the final holes.
