However , it was not enough to see off Kisner , who also tied at 18 under when he sank a birdie with his final putt . US veteran Jim Furyk celebrates after completing victory at the RBC Heritage .

Furyk revealed his delight at ending his title drought , telling the PGA Tour website : ' I 've let so many slide by , I really dug deep today and I 'm happy I got it done . ' He admitted he rode his luck on the front nine , where he approached the turn on six under for his round despite several way ward shots . ' I hit a bad drive at two , I hit a bad second shot at two , I hit about 14 trees down the right side and I hit a nine iron to two feet and made birdie , ' he said . ' I tugged it off three , it 's going way left - where I 'm going to get blocked out - and it hits a tree and drops on the fairway , I knock a five iron on to the green . 'Then I tugged it off the fifth tee really bad , hit a tree and dropped down in front of the lake instead of going in the lake and turned that into a par . 'At that point I 'm thinking ' I 've got to start hitting the ball a little bit better here but things are going my way ' . I kind of righted the ship for six through 10 and felt a little bit better about my swing and putts were going in left and right on that front nine . ' I really did n't hit it that well to shoot 30 on the front ( nine ) , I know it sounds funny but I just made everything . ' Kisner took his countryman all the way before losing sudden death playoff at the 17th hole . Recent US Masters champion Jordan Spieth finished tied 11th after a final round 70 .
