Justin Thomas beat fellow American Andrew Novak in a play-off to win the RBC Heritage as he claimed his first win since the 2022 US PGA Championship.

Novak needed a birdie at the 18th to secure his first PGA Tour title with Thomas having gone into the clubhouse on 17 under after a 68, but he missed a putt for victory and also carded a 68.

The two players headed to the 18th for the first play-off hole and Thomas holed a lengthy putt for a birdie to secure the title at Harbour Town Golf Links in South Carolina.

“Winning is hard, it’s really hard but I’ve worked my butt off and stayed patient and positive,” said Thomas, who shot a course-record 10-under-par 61 in his opening round.

“I didn’t realise how much I missed winning and battling out there today was so much fun.”

England’s Tommy Fleetwood, chasing his first PGA Tour victory like Novak, was three shots off overnight leader Kim Si-woo going into the final round and ended on 13 under after a 70.

Kim shot a three-over-par 74 in his final round as his challenge faded and he finished on 12 under, along with defending champion Scottie Scheffler (70).
