Steven Fisk Wins Sanderson Farms Championship With Three-Birdie Finish

The rookie's breakthrough secures a two-year PGA Tour exemption.

Overview

  • Fisk closed with an 8-under 64 to post 24-under 264 at the Country Club of Jackson for his first PGA Tour title.
  • He birdied holes 16, 17 and 18 to overtake 54-hole leader Garrick Higgo, who shot 68 and finished two strokes back at 22 under.
  • The win pays $1.08 million from a $6 million purse and guarantees PGA Tour status through 2027 after he entered the week 135th in the FedEx Cup Fall.
  • Rasmus Højgaard, Vince Whaley and Danny Walker shared third at 19 under, gaining valuable points in the standings.
  • The tournament is a key Fall Series stop for players vying to stay inside the top 100, with its title sponsorship uncertain after Sanderson Farms declined to renew.
