He couldn\u2019t pull it off at TPC Sawgrass, but Matt Fitzpatrick got his win in the Florida swing.<\/p>\n

Fitzpatrick edged out David Lipsky with a clutch birdie at the 18th on Sunday afternoon to claim a one-shot win at the Valspar Championship in Palm Harbor. Fitzpatrick posted a 3-under 68 in his final round to get to 11-under in the tournament.<\/p>\n

Fitzpatrick stuck his approach at the par-4 18th about 14 feet from the cup, and then sank his birdie putt to take the lead with players still behind him. That sparked a huge celebration for him on the putting surface, and eventually secured his one-shot win.<\/p>\n

Fitzpatrick, who finished second last week at The Players Championship, entered the day at 8-under. Sungjae Im carried a two-shot lead into the final round after leading for three days, but Im fell back Sunday with a 3-over. Lipsky started the day at 9-under, but posted only a single birdie in his final 13 holes to leave the door open for Fitzpatrick.<\/p>\n

The Valspar Championship offered a $9.1 million purse, which is among the lowest offered this season on Tour. That left Fitzpatrick with a $1.638 million check for his win.<\/p>\n

The win was the third of Fitzpatrick\u2019s career on the PGA Tour, and his first since the RBC Heritage in 2023. Sunday marked his third top-10 finish this season, and he\u2019s yet to miss a cut in seven starts.<\/p>\n
