Matt Fitzpatrick’s second win at the RBC Heritage came much like his first, with a clutch approach at Harbour Town’s 18th hole during a playoff.

Fitzpatrick flighted a Ping i210 4-iron into the wind from 196 yards to 13 feet and sank the putt to defeat Scottie Scheffler after bogeying the 72nd in regulation to allow the playoff.

Fitzpatrick, who has now won twice this season, struck the winning putt with his Bettinardi BB1 Flow prototype putter, the same blade he’s used for all four of his PGA Tour wins. But it’s not the putter he was using at the start of the year.

He won with that wand at the DP World Tour Championship and used it for his first four starts of the PGA Tour season in 2026.
