American golf ace Jim Furyk clinched his first PGA Tour victory in five years as he fired a birdie on the second playoff hole on Sunday to beat his compatriot Kevin Kisner for the RBC Heritage title in South Carolina.
Furyk, the 2010 winner at Harbour Town Golf Links on Hilton Head Island, fired an eight-under-par 63 for an 18-under total and Kisner matched him with a birdie at the last hole of regulation to complete a 64 and force the sudden death playoff, Sport24 reported.
Both players birdied the par-four 18th and moved on to the par-three 17th hole. Furyk knocked his tee shot to 12 feet, and after Kisner missed his 20-footer for birdie, the tour veteran American rolled in his downhill putt to claim his 17th career PGA title and first since the 2010 Tour Championship, the report added.
