Fitzpatrick takes Heritage win over Spieth in play-off

It took 75 holes to separate them, but Matt Fitzpatrick took the RBC Heritage open after a dramatic play-off with Jordan Spieth at Harbour Town.

Fitzpatrick fired a nine-iron to a foot on the third extra hole after both players had parred the first two efforts in the sudden-death play-off.

American Spieth and England's Fitzpatrick first parred 18 - Spieth's birdie putt lipping out - and then repeated the trick on the par-three 17th.

Fitzpatrick, playing first into the 18th again for their third play-off hole, stitched it close. Spieth's answer was not as spectacular and, when he failed to hole a lengthy birdie putt, Fitzpatrick duly brushed his in for victory.

The pair had both finished at 17-under-par after 72 holes, one clear of Spieth's countryman Patrick Cantlay with another American Xander Schauffele alone in fourth on 15-under-par.

Shane Lowry finished in a tie for 67th one one-over-par following a closing round of 72.
