Steven Fisk is a rookie on the PGA Tour and has experienced the kind of highs and lows (mostly lows) many rookies endure. Coming into the Sanderson Farms Championship, Fisk didn’t have a finish better than T-28 since May, but rebounded with one heckuva ‘high’ in winning at the Country Club of Jackson over Garrick Higgo with a stirring final-round 64.
Noting after a third-round 65 that, “It’s been a bit of a long year on the greens specifically, but I’m starting to see a couple better things,” Fisk kept the good times rolling on the final day, dropping a 31-footer for birdie on the par-4 second hole and a 41-footer on the 16th to ignite a finishing kick of three straight birdies that propelled him to the win.
Fisk uses an Odyssey White Hot OG Rossie mallet putter, a flatstick that incorporates the company’s original White Hot insert formulation from the early 2000s. For the week Fisk ranked 15th in strokes gained/putting, picking up nearly four shots on the field and was third in putts per green in regulation.

In all, Fisk made nine birdies against a lone bogey in his final round, using a very split set of Mizuno irons that utilises five different models of Mizuno clubs in the 3-iron through pitching wedge. Off the tee, Fisk ranked fourth in strokes gained, beating the field average by 3.598 strokes with his 9.5-degree Mizuno ST-Z 230 driver with a Mitsubishi Kuro Kage White XD 70 TX shaft. Holding a one-shot lead on the 18th, Fisk launched a 300-metre bomb that found the fairway and followed it by zipping his approach in to four feet, setting up one final birdie to secure the win.
That’s called ending on a high note.
