Jordan Spieth had plenty of opportunities to defend his title on Sunday afternoon.
Spieth did it again, too. Both players hit great shots off the tee to about 10 feet each, though Fitzpatrick sent his birdie putt left of the cup. Spieth, with another chance to get the win, sent his putt just inches off the right lip of the cup.
That sent the two back to the 18th, where Fitzpatrick got the tap-in win. He's now the first Englishman to win the plaid jacket since Nick Faldo did in 1984. Spieth was trying to defend a title for the first time in his career following his victory at Harbour Town last season, where he beat Patrick Cantlay in a playoff. Spieth is now 5-4 in playoffs in his career. He has five top-10 finishes this season including last week’s T4 at the Masters — which only came after a huge final-round 66.
Patrick Cantlay finished alone in third at 16-under, and Xander Schauffele was one shot back in fourth. Top-ranked Jon Rham, fresh off his win at the Masters last week, finished T15 after posting a 3-under 68 on Sunday. He is the first winner at Augusta National to play the following week on Tour since 2015.Listen
