PGA Tour rookie Steven Fisk finished birdie-birdie-birdie to notch his first career tour victory Sunday at the Sanderson Farms Championship in Jackson, Miss.
Fisk posted an 8-under-par 64 in his final round, carding a 24-under-par 264 at the Country Club of Jackson to overtake South Africa's Garrick Higgo by two strokes. Ranked No. 183 in the world, Fisk got hotter as the week went on (70-65-65-64).
Fisk and Higgo were tied for the lead at the par-4 16th hole when Fisk drained a 41-foot birdie. Higgo matched him from 11 feet to form another tie at 22 under.
At the par-4 17th, they threw darts at the flagstick with their approach shots, and each landed about 3 feet away. But Higgo couldn't convert his birdie putt, and Fisk calmly sank his for the outright lead.
Higgo, a two-time PGA Tour winner, needed to bury a 30-foot birdie attempt at No. 18 to put pressure on Fisk but missed 3 feet wide. Fisk had two putts to win but holed his 4-foot birdie look to finish in style.
His maiden tour win guarantees Fisk a full PGA Tour card through 2027. He rocketed up from No. 135 to 65 in the FedEx Cup Fall standings and has a real shot to finish the fall inside places 51-60, which would get him into the first two signature events of 2026.
Denmark's Rasmus Hojgaard, who played for victorious Team Europe at the Ryder Cup last month, had four rounds in the 60s and shot a 65 Sunday to tie for third at 19 under with Vince Whaley (67) and Danny Walker (69).
