Written by Staff
Steven Fisk fired an incredible 8-under 64 Sunday to win the Sanderson Farms Championship, including four birdies in his last five holes and three in a row to close out his day. It came down to the wire Sunday between Fisk and Garrick Higgo, who were battling through most of the finale. Higgo opened the door with back-to-back bogeys on Nos. 10 and 11, but he got those back and then some, however, making four birdies in a row on Nos. 13-16. Higgo missed a 3-footer on the penultimate hole, though, while Fisk hit his approach to just two feet on No. 17 and made the go-ahead birdie, which turned out to be the difference.
Fisk lost his father, Christopher, earlier this year at just 59 after a battle with cancer. And his caddie is Jay Green, who was on the bag for the late Grayson Murray when Murray won the Sony Open in Hawaii in 2024. The Sunday round in Mississippi was tremendous – but Fisk said he couldn’t have done it alone, especially with his dad watching over things.
“I think he nudged a couple putts in for me for sure, maybe him or Grayson. I had a couple of helpers out there,” Fisk said.
Fisk becomes the fourth rookie to win on the PGA TOUR this season, along with William Mouw (ISCO Championship), Aldrich Potgieter (Rocket Classic) and Karl Vilips (Puerto Rico Open).
