CROWD PLEASER: Matt Fitzpatrick beat world number one Scottie Scheffler in a play-off for his second RBC Heritage title.

Matt Fitzpatrick played down the crowd reaction after he beat world number one Scottie Scheffler in a play-off for his second RBC Heritage title but the Ryder Cup winner could not resist a little dig at the pro-American gallery.

The Sheffield golfer won his second event in a month – becoming the third Englishman behind Justin Rose (twice), Nick Faldo and Luke Donald to win multiple times in a PGA Tour season – after holing a 12-foot birdie putt at the first extra hole.
