Jordan Spieth claims his second consecutive Easter Sunday victory at the RBC Heritage tournament, demonstrating remarkable resilience after missing the Masters cut two weeks prior. The win at Harbour Town showcases Spieth's ability to overcome mental hurdles and rediscover his winning form when he gets out of his own way.

• Spieth shot a final-round 66 to take the clubhouse lead at 13-under
• Multiple contenders including Straka, Varner III, Lowry, and van Rooyen all failed to match Spieth's score
• Patrick "Patty Ice" Cantlay forced a playoff after missing a birdie putt for outright victory on 18
• Both players found bunkers in the playoff, but Spieth's incredible bunker shot to less than a foot sealed the win
• Last year's Easter Sunday victory at the Valero Texas Open reignited Spieth's career
• The win reinforces Spieth's reputation as one of golf's most mentally intriguing and resilient players
