Matt Fitzpatrick put the disappointment of a close call at Sawgrass behind him Sunday when he birdied the 18th hole from just inside 15 feet to cap off a 3-under 68 and win the Valspar Championship by one shot over David Lipsky.

As Matt Fitzpatrick celebrated a 72nd-hole birdie that won him the Valspar Championship, two players were processing different Sunday misses as they prepared to leave Innisbrook Resort.

His grandstand birdie on the 18th was the ultimate golfing redemption, after his Players Championship disappointment, as he left with the £1.25m first prize.
