“I know I'm good enough”: Steven Fisk gets emotional with wife after career defining Sanderson Farms victory
For the ones who saw the magic happen, the Sanderson Farms Championship will forever remain a tale of faith, determination, and a very emotional moment shared by the newlywed couple, Steven and Edith Fisk . Indeed, the Jackson Sunday victory for the youngster pianist has swiftly degenerated into an unequivocal sweet memory across the PGA Tour this season.
A Fairytale Finish
In a classic contrast with absolute relaxation under severe pressure, Fisk birdied the 11th hole to hold the outright lead with the final-round score of three-under-33, only to be shared by Higgo, a two-time PGA Tour winner. The duo then traded birdies in some rather exciting holes in a row, with Higgo birdying the 13th, 14th, and 15th, and Fisk responding with an incredible birdie putt from 41 feet on the 16th to remain tied at 22.
All hell broke loose right on the 17th itself. Precision approaches from both players were rendered useless as Higgo failed to convert on a short birdie putt, therefore giving a chance to Fisk, who coolly sank his putt to gain back the lead. With an accurate tee shot and lay-up approach within four feet, Fisk wrapped up on the 18th and was crowned as the winner with a record of 24th under par.
Fisk’s self belief
A few moments after his emotional winning putt, Fisk looked back at his life journey during a Golf Channel post-round interview.
He mentioned, “No matter what happened, no matter what shots I hit. I just felt like I’d be standing right here, right now before today started.”
For someone who already had a share of challenges during his rookie year, it was more than just affirmation. It was redemption. “Self-belief. Grit. I know I’m good enough. I thought I could do it,” Fisk revealed, his words echoing the quiet spirit with which he forged his upward climb.
An Adored, Viral Moment of Love and Triumph
But what moved the fans was what followed. The final putt dropped as Fisk and his wife, Edith, shared an emotional hug. The PGA Tour caught this moment on film and then quickly placed it on X with the caption, “The winning moment for the Fisks 🥹”
It was more than a win for a golfer; it was the expression of a shared dream for a couple, a testimony to sharing faith and holding a partner's hand through believing that hard work finally pays.
