Matt Fitzpatrick is back. The Englishman held off a vintage Scottie Scheffler charge at Harbour Town Golf Links on Sunday, bogeying the 72nd hole to fall into a playoff, then flushing a 4-iron from 204 yards to 13 feet on the same hole to win the 2026 RBC Heritage on the first extra hole.
 It is Fitzpatrick’s first PGA Tour win since his 2023 RBC Heritage title and a timely return to form with the second major of the year just weeks away. For our coverage of the year’s first major, see our Masters 2026 winner article.

Day by Day at Harbour Town
Round 1 – Thursday
The opening round belonged to the field rather than the headline names. Scheffler began slowly, as he has done most weeks this year, and sat well off the pace through 18. Fitzpatrick, by contrast, settled quickly into the tree-lined corridors at Harbour Town, posting a solid opening round that kept him in the mix alongside Viktor Hovland, Si Woo Kim and a clutch of short-game specialists who always travel well to Hilton Head. The traditional post-Masters letdown never arrived — scoring was low, the wind was manageable, and the leaderboard was crowded inside the top 10.
Round 2 – Friday
This is where the tournament pivoted. Fitzpatrick strung together a bogey-free 63 — his lowest round on the PGA Tour in more than two years — to blow past the field and take a commanding lead into the weekend. He missed almost nothing inside 15 feet and kept his ball out of Harbour Town’s pine straw all day. Viktor Hovland kept the chase alive with a clean 65 of his own, but most of the big names either sat well back or missed the cut. Scheffler made it through to the weekend but looked like an also-ran heading into Saturday.
Round 3 – Saturday (Moving Day)
Saturday was the first real wobble. Fitzpatrick made three bogeys inside the first seven holes and, suddenly, every chaser had a sniff. Scheffler picked up the scent immediately, grinding out a low round in the middle of the day to cut the lead to a single shot at one point. The tournament turned on two holes on the back nine: Fitzpatrick rolled in a 25-footer from off the green for birdie at the par-3 14th, then chipped in for eagle at the par-5 15th to push his lead back out to three shots. He signed for a 3-under 68 that felt a lot better than it had looked through seven holes. Scheffler’s charge was real, but Fitzpatrick’s short game was the difference.
Round 4 – Sunday
Scheffler turned Sunday into the kind of final-round duel we have come to expect from him. Three back with nine to play, he poured in birdies at the 15th and 16th and suddenly a three-shot margin felt paper thin. Fitzpatrick kept his composure on the par-3 17th but missed the 18th green in regulation and couldn’t save his par, bogeying the 72nd hole to fall back to 18-under and force a playoff. Scheffler had also missed the green on 18 in regulation, scrambling superbly for par to get to the same number.
The playoff returned them to the 18th tee. Fitzpatrick went first into a stiff left-to-right headwind and, as he later described it, hit an “out of this world” 4-iron from 204 yards that carried the bunker, rolled out and settled 13 feet above the hole. Scheffler’s 6-iron leaked well right and came up 37 yards short, leaving him an awkward pitch. He got it to eight feet, but Fitzpatrick held his nerve, rolled in the birdie putt, and ended a two-year wait for a PGA Tour title on the same course that delivered his last one.
What It Means Heading into the PGA Championship
With the year’s second major now just weeks away, Harbour Town told us a few useful things about the form lines at the top of the sport.
Scheffler is tournament-ready again. The world number one has been dragged back into second place in back-to-back weeks — runner-up at Augusta and again at Hilton Head — and, while that is not yet a win, he has plainly rediscovered his weekend ball-striking. His Saturday and Sunday scoring at Harbour Town was the best in the field. Any list of PGA Championship favourites starts with him and it is hard to see that changing between now and May.
Fitzpatrick is back in the conversation. A win of this calibre, on a course he clearly loves, re-opens a door that had been closing quietly on Fitzpatrick’s career. He is a former US Open champion with elite approach-play numbers when his putter cooperates, and he putted beautifully all week. At a second-shot major venue he is very much a threat.
Morikawa, Ă…berg and Hovland all flashed their shot. Morikawa and Ă…berg each finished inside the top 10 with quietly excellent iron weeks. Hovland was in contention through 36 before fading on the weekend, but his second-round 65 was the most complete round of tee-to-green golf anyone played. All three are shorter in the PGA Championship market than they were a fortnight ago and all three deserve to be.
The over-40s are doing just fine. Rickie Fowler, Gary Woodland and Patrick Cantlay all posted top-10s, a reminder that venues requiring positioning over power tend to bring the older, craftier pros back into play. The PGA Championship rotation does not always reward that type, but it is worth logging for the right weeks.
