Matt Fitzpatrick led by three shots going into the final round of the RBC Heritage and, although it went to a playoff, he was able to get over the line against Scottie Scheffler.
Fitzpatrick carded a one-under 70, which included a final hole bogey, while Scheffler managed a three-under 67.
In the playoff, though, it was Fitzpatrick who produced the goods, birdieing the 18th to earn a second RBC Heritage title in four editions.
The front nine belonged to Fitzpatrick, who birdied two of his first three holes; however, multiple players made charges on the back nine, with Si Woo Kim and Scheffler hunting down the Englishman.
Fitzpatrick, though, remained steady and, thanks to some crucial pars saves, he found himself one clear of Scheffler going down the 18th.
Making 14 pars in a row, Fitzpatrick was favorite to earn a second title at Harbour Town Golf Links, but after watching Scheffler hit a stunning chip at the last, he couldn't follow him.
Leaving his chip short, Fitzpatrick missed the putt from 15-foot, meaning we headed down the 18th for a playoff, something that Fitzpatrick needed in 2023 to claim the title.
As the wind picked up, both Fitzpatrick and Scheffler found the fairway, with Fitzpatrick's second shot proving to be the difference.
Left with 205-yards, the Englishman piped a 4-iron down the flag with it nearly pitching in the hole.
What's more, with Scheffler coming up short, it left the door ajar for Fitzpatrick, who slammed it shut with a 13-footer for birdie, following Scheffler's pitch.
The holed putt secured Fitzpatrick the title, with it his second in four weeks, adding to his Valspar Championship title in mid-March.
"I got off to a great start and I would have taken (a playoff) before we teed off," stated Fitzpatrick.
"I knew Scottie was going to make a lot of birdies down the stretch and I would have to hang in there a bit.
"I felt like I was in a good spot and, to hit a 4-iron I did, was out of this world. This win means so much and this is a tournament I wanted to win growing up.
"To win it twice means the world and to go toe-to-toe with Scottie, and get it done on the 73rd, is special."

SIX REMAIN
Matt Fitzpatrick has been solid as a rock today and, at the 12th, he makes a great par to remain three clear of Scottie Scheffler and Si Woo Kim.
Pivotal moments have been aplenty, with one of those being at the 11th, with Fitzpatrick holing a 15-footer to save par and remain ahead of the chasing pack.
At the 13th, Scheffler finds the fairway perfectly, while Fitzpatrick follows him with a delightful stinger.

ABERG TO 15-UNDER
It's yet another great performance for Ludvig Aberg this week, who birdies the par 5 15th to move to 15-under and into solo fourth.
FITZPATRICK AIRMAILS THE GREEN
The wind is swirling at Harbour Town Golf Links and, at the 13th, Scheffler goes long of the green, finishing on the fringe.
Because of the mistake, the door is ajar for Fitzpatrick, but the Major winner goes even further past the green, with his wedge flying over the back and leaving a tough up-and-down.
WHAT WAS THAT?
Wow... After his birdie at the 15th, Aberg snap hooks his tee shot well left at the 16th and is forced into a provisional.
Not sure if his first is out of bounds but, given how left it was, I wouldn't be surprised. Big mistake for the Swede!
PARS AT THE 13TH
Despite poor second shots, both Fitzpatrick and Scheffler make convincing pars, with the Major-winning pair remaining at 19-under and 16-under. Fitzpatrick is three clear with five to play.
WIND CAUSING HAVOC
The wind is gusting at the RBC Heritage and, at the par 3 14th, Scheffler's tee shot barely clears the water short of the green.
Having watched his playing partner come up short, Fitzpatrick goes up a club and plays a delightful approach into the heart of the green. Excellent from the leader.
FOUR-WAY TIE AT 13-UNDER
Aberg makes a double bogey at the 16th, while Harris English caps his round off with a bogey at the 18th.
It means both join Collin Morikawa and Bud Cauley at 13-under, which is a share of fourth.
BIG SAVE FOR SCOTTIE
A poor tee shot is followed by a poor chip from Scheffler, who is destined to make a bogey at the par 3 14th.
The World No.1, though, is gritty, and he rolls in an eight-footer for par to keep his card clean. He remains 16-under and two-under for the day.
Alongside Scheffler, Fitzpatrick makes a comfortable two putt to remain at 19-under, three clear of Scheffler and Kim.
FAIRWAYS FOUND AT 15
Both Scheffler and Fitzpatrick find the fairway at the par 5 15th, with both in a good position to, potentially, go at the green in two.
SI WOO TO 17-UNDER
Having laid up with his second shot at the par 5 15th, Kim plays a great pitch and holes his birdie putt to move to 17-under.
He is now two back of Fitzpatrick, who is on the fairway at the 15th.
FITZ AND SCOTTIE AT THE 15TH
Having spoken about the shot for some time, Fitzpatrick opts to lay-up but pushes his approach right of the fairway, finding the second cut.
Scheffler, meanwhile, pounds his fairway wood over the trees and finds the greenside bunker. You expect him to get that up-and-down, so it's pressure on Fitzpatrick, who is 120-yards away.
PAR FOR SCOTTIE

SCOTTIE MOVES WITHIN TWO
Fitzpatrick finds the green with his third at the par 5 15th, with the Englishman two putting for a par.
Scheffler, meanwhile, produces a gorgeous bunker shot that runs out to four-feet. The World No.1 rarely misses those and, with his putt, he rams it home to move to 17-under.
Scheffler is now two back of Fitzpatrick, who is 19-under.
WOODLAND HOLES OUT AT THE LAST
Shot of the day from Gary Woodland!
That's an incredible shot from the Major winner, who holes out from 205-yards for an exceptional eagle.
He had been in a tie for 16th but, with that hole-out, he moves into a tie for eighth. Unreal shot from the American!
PRESSURE FROM SCOTTIE
He's not going away!
Scheffler plays a great shot from the fairway bunker at the 16th, with the World No.1 leaving nine-foot for a birdie.
Fitzpatrick, meanwhile, is short of the green and faces a tough two putt.

ANOTHER BIRDIE FOR SCOTTIE
Fitzpatrick produces a good putt that finishes inches away, with the par guaranteed.
Scheffler, meanwhile, makes the most of his approach, as the American rolls in the birdie putt to move to 18-under.
He's within one of Fitzpatrick!
FITZY ON THE GREEN
Scheffler pushes his approach right at the par 3 17th, but should have a relatively straightforward up-and-down coming up.
Stepping up is Fitzpatrick and, once again, he pounds his iron shot to the heart of the green.
Pars are likely, but you never know in these late stages...

PAR FOR FITZPATRICK
Excellent work from Fitzpatrick, who rolls his birdie attempt to inches of the hole. He remains 19-under.
PAR FOR SCOTTIE
A nice chip is followed by a nice putt, with Scheffler matching Fitzpatrick and just one back of the Englishman playing the last.
BRUTAL FINISH
The wind is up and, consequently, the 18th hole is playing tough!
ADVANTAGE SCOTTIE
Scheffler finds the fairway, while Fitzpatrick goes right and finds the sand at the 18th.
Both have good lies, but Scheffler is closer to the green, albeit well back.
KIM BOGEYS THE LAST
A good week for Si Woo Kim finishes with a bogey, but the South Korean finishes solo third and will be happy with his performance.
MISSES TO THE RIGHT
Both Fitzpatrick and Scheffler see their approach shots go right of the green, with both men leaving near identical chip shots.
Scheffler will hit first, and you like to think Fitzpatrick will learn a lot from his attempt.
EXCELLENT FROM SCOTTIE
Great chip from Scheffler, who runs his shot down to six inches, tapping in for a par and leaving Fitzpatrick with the up-and-down for the victory.
PLAYOFF TIME
Fitzpatrick hits a poor chip and, with his putt from 15-feet, it goes left and stays left.
Tapping in for bogey, Fitzpatrick joins Scheffler at 18-under, with the pair heading for a playoff.
WHO IS YOUR MONEY ON?
TEE SHOTS
Stepping up first, Fitzpatrick finds the fairway, specifically the right-side.
Scheffler, meanwhile, takes out a fairway wood and carves it to right-side, also, with the four-time Major winner leaving a similar distance to that of regulation play.
WHAT A SHOT FROM FITZY
Unbelievable shot from Fitzpatrick!
He has history at the 18th and, from 205-yards, Fitzpatrick plays a stunning long iron that nearly lands in the hole.
He has 14-foot for birdie, putting the pressure on Scheffler.
SCHEFFLER COMES UP SHORT
The pressure is on Scheffler and, with a long iron in hand, the ball balloons up in the air and comes up well short.
Advantage is in Fitzpatrick's favor!
TYPICAL SCOTTIE
Great third from Scheffler, who leaves himself six-foot for the par.
Fitzpatrick will have a putt for the win.
