Overview

  • Fisk closed with an 8-under 64, birdieing the final three holes to finish at 24-under 264 at the Country Club of Jackson.
  • Garrick Higgo, the 54-hole leader, shot 68 to place second at 22 under after a season shaped by a labrum and hip issue he managed without surgery.
  • The win pays $1.08 million from a $6 million purse, awards 500 FedEx Cup points and a Tour exemption through 2027, and it does not include a Masters invitation under Fall Series rules.
  • Rasmus Højgaard, Vince Whaley and Danny Walker shared third at 19 under as the leaderboard reshuffled late on Sunday.
  • Fisk began the week 135th in the FedEx Cup standings and converted a must-gain Fall opportunity into long-term job security with his first PGA Tour victory.
