• RBC Heritage: Beginning the day three shots out of the lead, edged Luke Donald by one shot to become the first South Carolinian to win the RBC Heritage in its 49-year history. With a winning total of 13-under 271, posted his first PGA TOUR victory in his 18th career start. Carried a 42-hole bogey-free streak into the par-3 fourth hole, but immediately followed the bogey with four consecutive birdies at Nos. 4-7 and two more at Nos. 13 and 15 to post a 4-under 67. With the win, collected 500 points and moved from No. 59 to No. 14 in the FedExCup standings. Became the sixth player in 49 years to win the RBC Heritage in his first attempt, joining Arnold Palmer (1969), Bob Goalby (1970), Stewart Cink (2000), Jose Coceres (2001), and Boo Weekley (2007).

In the playoff, stayed alive with a birdie on the first extra hole. On the second hole of sudden death, knocked a 6-iron to within three feet of the hole for a tap-in birdie and the win.

After the pair bogeyed the par-4 sixth hole, made a 15-foot putt for birdie to move into the outright lead when Fritsch made a double bogey on the same hole. Added a birdie at No. 12 to get four clear of the field. Closed the tournament birdie-bogey-birdie for a final-round 67. His 19-under-par 269 total was two shy of the tournament record.

Birdied 17, then two-putted 18 to post 14-under par, which gave way to the win when Julian Etulain missed a birdie try to tie on the 72nd hole.
