Fisk Rallies with Late Birdies to Win Sanderson Farms Championship

In an exciting golf day, Steven Fisk demonstrated his determination by conquering the Sanderson Farms Championship, securing his first victory on the PGA Tour.

Fisk Prevails with a Spectacular Finish

Fisk, with an unwavering attitude, finished with an impressive 64, eight under par, thanks to a series of crucial birdies in the last three holes. The competition was intense, especially with Garrick Higgo from South Africa, who kept pace for much of the tournament. Both players starred in a memorable duel in the final holes of the Jackson Country Club.

I went out today with the mindset that nothing would stop me.

The tension remained high until the end. Fisk and Higgo tied at several points, but Fisk managed to pull away with a 40-foot birdie on the 16th hole. Higgo responded with a birdie of his own, followed by another on the 17th, but a missed short putt on the same hole cost him dearly. Fisk, seizing the opportunity, secured the victory with a final birdie, leaving Higgo two strokes behind.

Fisk’s victory, with a total of 24 under par, secures him a two-year exemption on the tour, a significant achievement after five years of trying. Danny Walker, Vince Whaley and Rasmus Hojgaard also stood out in the tournament, obtaining important positions and benefits in the FedEx Cup ranking.
