Another perfect 9-iron landed Matt Fitzpatrick his second PGA Tour title.
Just like when he closed out the 2022 U.S. Open with a once-in-a-lifetime shot, Fitzpatrick nailed a 9-iron from 187 yards that tracked toward the hole and wound up 12 inches away, stealing the spotlight from Jordan Spieth in a three-hole playoff at the RBC Heritage.
For Fitzpatrick, this was the perfect follow-up to his breakthrough major 10 months ago.
