Justin Thomas Wins RBC Heritage Playoff at Harbour Town

Justin Thomas ended a nearly three-year winless drought by defeating Andrew Novak in a playoff at the RBC Heritage at Harbour Town Golf Links, securing his 16th PGA Tour victory and first since the 2022 PGA Championship. Both players finished regulation at 17-under-par, with Novak missing chances to win before Thomas captured victory with a dramatic 21-foot birdie putt in the playoff. Thomas opened the event with a record-setting 61 and overcame a self-assessed penalty in round three, marking his first win as a father. The win returns Thomas to second in the FedExCup rankings and reaffirms his status among the elite in a Ryder Cup year. Novak, seeking his first PGA Tour title, finished as runner-up but is projected to rise in the FedEx Cup standings. The PGA Tour now shifts to the Zurich Classic, featuring notable pairings including Rory McIlroy and Shane Lowry.
