Jordan Spieth claims first win of season at RBC Heritage while Dylan Frittelli hits wild shot out of tree

 

Jordan Spieth holds the trophy after winning the RBC Heritage.

(CNN)Jordan Spieth claimed his first win of the season at the RBC Heritage after a dramatic playoff victory over Patrick Cantlay.

The American beat his compatriot on the first hole of their sudden-death playoff at Harbour Town Golf Links, recording a par while Cantlay could only register a bogey.

It capped off a remarkable Sunday for Spieth, who roared into contention with a five-under 66 -- including two eagles in the opening five holes -- setting the clubhouse lead at 13-under par.

Cantlay carded a final-round 68 to join Spieth at the top of the leaderboard, but after both players found the bunker on the 18th hole in the playoff, Spieth produced a moment of magic from the sand to claim his 13th PGA Tour victory with FedExCup champion Cantlay only able to find the back of the green with his bunker shot.

Afterwards, three-time major winner Spieth praised his wife, Annie, for instilling some calm in him after a disappointing round on Saturday.

"I was about as upset after the round yesterday as I've ever been in a golf tournament," Spieth told the media.

"There's just no excuse for those kind of brain farts as a professional to myself, but also to Michael (Greller), who's working his butt off, to go out there and do that, that could potentially affect the outcome of a tournament. And I've done that a number of times on this stretch 

"I thought this would be the greatest Par of my life," Frittelli tweeted. "I was assessed a 2-stroke penalty for 'standing astride' my intended line of play during this shot. The rules of golf remain undefeated."

He finished one-over par and tied for 66th in the field.
