• Jim Furyk won the RBC Heritage on Sunday for his first PGA Tour title in five years, making birdies on both playoff holes to outlast Kevin Kisner. Furyk was ahead by a stroke when Kisner birdied the 72nd hole to force the playoff, the fourth in the last six tournaments at Harbour Town.
On the first extra hole, Kisner rolled in a second straight birdie putt on the 18th. But Furyk, the 2003 U.S. Open champion, answered with a birdie to keep the playoff going. After Kisner missed his birdie try on No. 17, Furyk sank a 12-foot putt for his 17th career PGA Tour win.
Brian Harman and Hudson Swafford came in 44th at 4-under, while Chris Kirk was 69th at 2-over and Russell Henley missed the cut.
• The PGA Tour stop this week is the Zurich Classic of New Orleans. Kevin Kisner, Erik Compton, Harris English and Hudson Swafford are in the field.
