One week. Same hole. Completely different result.

Matt Fitzpatrick bogeyed the 72nd hole at The Players Championship to hand Cameron Young the title. Seven days later, he stood over a 14-foot birdie putt on the same hole number at the Valspar Championship — and drained it to win. That's the kind of story you can't script.

Fitzpatrick closed at 11-under (273) to beat David Lipsky by one stroke and claim his first PGA Tour win since the 2023 RBC Heritage. He went bogey-free over his final 36 holes — a performance that was as clean as it gets on the Copperhead Course.

The most fascinating subplot was Sungjae Im's Sunday collapse. Im led wire-to-wire through 54 holes, then shot a 74 (+3) — five bogeys on the front nine alone — to fall to a tie for fourth. It's the fourth straight week a 54-hole leader on the Florida Swing has handed back a three-shot (or more) cushion on Sunday. Somebody should check the water.

Xander Schauffele fired a final-round 65 (T4), Jordan Smith finished 3rd at -9, and a 45-year-old Brandt Snedeker somehow co-led on Sunday's front nine before a double-bogey on 12 ended the fairy tale. Brooks Koepka quietly posted a T19 in his continued PGA Tour return.

Over in South Africa, Bryson DeChambeau won his second consecutive LIV Golf event, beating Jon Rahm in a one-hole playoff at LIV Golf South Africa — the league's first-ever event on the African continent.

A stunning 3-wood from 295 yards to 12 feet on the playoff hole sealed it. DeChambeau took home $4 million from a $20 million purse, and the all-South African Southern Guards team nearly pulled off the team title before the Crushers GC edged them by one stroke. With over 100,000 tickets sold, it was the largest golf event in African history.

The tour heads to Houston for the Texas Children's Houston Open (March 26–29) at Memorial Park Golf Course. The elephant in the room: Scottie Scheffler has finished runner-up here three times and still hasn't broken through in his home state.

With the Masters less than three weeks away, this is his best tune-up opportunity — and his last one. The field features 20 of the top 50 OWGR, including Chris Gotterup, Min Woo Lee (defending at -20), Sam Burns, and Wyndham Clark. Rory McIlroy is sitting this one out.
