England's Matt Fitzpatrick got the job done a week after coming up just short.
Fitzpatrick made a 14-foot putt for birdie on the final hole and waited for two groups behind him to finish, winning the Valspar Championship by shooting 3-under-par 68 on Sunday at Palm Harbor, Fla.
"I was playing well going into this week, obviously wanted to continue that and I felt like I had confidence in myself to do so," Fitzpatrick said. "Then obviously to sort of do that over four rounds was special this week."
It was a form of redemption for Fitzpatrick, who a week earlier was the runner-up in The Players Championship.
Fitzpatrick finished at 11-under 273 on Innisbrook Resort and Golf Club's Copperhead Course, one stroke better than David Lipsky to secure his third victory on the PGA Tour.
To drain a pressure putt added to the pleasure.
"To get it done like that was special," Fitzpatrick said.
Lipsky, who posted 70, almost rolled in a 33-foot birdie putt on No. 18 to force a playoff, but needed a tap-in to finish his round. It was nearly an incredible recovery after his tee shot was in the fairway rough on that hole.
Yet the week's work marked a significant step for Lipsky.
"This week was an awesome week and I'm really looking forward to seeing what events I get into the rest of the year and trying to play my way into those playoffs," Lipsky said.
Fitzpatrick had a consistent tournament, turning in 68s for the first, third and fourth rounds. He last won on the tour at the 2023 RBC Heritage.
"To obviously come away with a win this week is really special, considering last week's performance as well," Fitzpatrick said.
Fitzpatrick wasn't the lone Englishman with some excitement. Jordan Smith shot 66, putting him in third place for his best finish on the PGA Tour. Smith played the final 14 holes in 5 under after starting with a pair of birdies followed by a pair of bogeys.
"We got off to a nice quick start, and then before you know it, we were in the hunt there," Smith said. "So, it's just nice to know that we can get there."
South Korea's Sungjae Im shot 74, tying for fourth place with Xander Schauffele (65) and England's Marco Penge (71) at 8 under.
PGA Tour Champions
New Zealand's Steven Alker shot a final round 6-under-par 65, then won a playoff against Ireland's Padraig Harrington to capture his second straight Cologuard Classic on Sunday in Tucson, Ariz.
As the event's first-ever back-to-back champion, Alker achieved a remarkable comeback by rallying from nine shots behind entering play Saturday.
It was also the second straight playoff at the event, with Alker defeating Jason Caron on an additional hole a year ago.
Alker quickly made the comeback a possibility by tying a La Paloma Country Club course record with his 9-under 62 on Saturday, then he picked up where he left off with three birdies over his first six holes.
An 11-time winner on the Champions Tour, Alker added birdies on Holes 9, 11 and 16, then held off Harrington with a birdie in the playoff to win his first tournament since last year's Simmons Bank Championship.
LPGA Tour
South Korea's Hyo Joo Kim went wire to wire, holding off Nelly Korda to win the Fortinet Founders Cup by one stroke Sunday in Menlo Park, Calif.
Kim became an eight-time winner on the LPGA Tour, including this event in 2015 in Phoenix, with a 1-over-par 73 for a total of 16-under 272 at Sharon Heights Golf & Country Club, which hosted the event for the first time.
The 30-year-old had led by two shots after the opening round, four through Friday's play and five after three rounds.
Ranked No. 8 in the world, Kim saw her five-stroke lead evaporate after 10 holes. She bogeyed Nos. 2, 8, 12, 16 and 18 to make for a dramatic finish. She countered with birdies at Nos. 6, 7, 11 and 14.
