They both had chances on the 18th hole to win the tournament, but made pars. That led to a sudden-death playoff, back on the 18th. Novak found the fairway with a three wood, but Thomas blew it past him with a driver.<\/p>\n<p>Their iron shots left Novak with 33 feet and Thomas with 21. A solid effort fell short from the North Carolina native, Novak, leaving the door open for Thomas. He kicked it in for his first win since May 2022.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/clutchpoints.com\/golf\/pga-tour-news-justin-thomas-ties-rbc-heritage-course-record\">Thomas set the pace by setting another course record on the PGA Tour<\/a> on Thursday. His 61 is the lowest score ever shot at Harbour Town Golf Links, home of the RBC Heritage. He set the course record at TPC Sawgrass earlier this year. Starting at ten-under, he was able to hold on through the weekend and make the playoff.<\/p>\n<p>Novak shot 65 on Friday and 66 on Saturday to launch into the final group. He was paired with Si Woo Kim, who spiraled on the back nine and finished eighth. While it is disappointing for Novak to come so close to winning his first PGA Tour tournament, the finish will shoot him up the FedEx Cup Standings.<\/p>\n<p>The Zurich Classic in New Orleans is the next stop on the PGA Tour. The Tour\u2019s lone team event will feature Masters champion Rory McIlroy, teamed up with Shane Lowry once again.<\/p>\n<p>The post <a href=\"https:\/\/clutchpoints.com\/golf\/pga-tour-news-justin-thomas-breaks-winless-streak-playoff-win-rbc-heritage\">Justin Thomas finally breaks winless streak with playoff win at RBC Heritage<\/a> appeared first on <a href=\"https:\/\/clutchpoints.com\">ClutchPoints<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>After a thrilling week at The Masters, the PGA Tour moved up to Hilton Head, South Carolina, for the RBC [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":1386,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":[],"categories":[15],"tags":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"http:\/\/www.gospelmusiconline.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1384"}],"collection":[{"href":"http:\/\/www.gospelmusiconline.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"http:\/\/www.gospelmusiconline.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/www.gospelmusiconline.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/www.gospelmusiconline.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=1384"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"http:\/\/www.gospelmusiconline.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1384\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":1385,"href":"http:\/\/www.gospelmusiconline.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1384\/revisions\/1385"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/www.gospelmusiconline.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/1386"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"http:\/\/www.gospelmusiconline.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=1384"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/www.gospelmusiconline.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=1384"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/www.gospelmusiconline.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=1384"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
