It was Thomas's lI6th win on the PGA Tour and moves him to second place in the FedEx Cup rankings behind Masters champion Rory Mcllroy

Justin Thomas defeated Andrew Novak in a playoff to win the PGA Tour's RBC Heritage and claim his first victory since the 2022 PGA Championship on Sunday.
Novak had a great chance to win in regulation but agonsingly missed a 10-foot birdie putt to send himself and Thomas back to the 18th at Harbour Town for the playoff.
With Novak unable to make his long birdie putt, Thomas took his chance, draining his putt superbly from 21 feet to end his nearly three year winless run.
"It's so hard to force the issue in a course like this. It's so firm, so fast. It just was so fun to play. I mean, I'm really, really proud of myself today, how patient I was, and just plodding my way around," said Thomas.
"I've never made a putt to win a tournament before, like, of length. I've been fortunate to have a lot of tap-ins, but I've never made a putt, and that was pretty cool.
"That was as fun as I thought it would be," he added.
It was Thomas's 16th win on the PGA Tour and moves him to second place in the FedEx Cup rankings behind Masters champion Rory Mcllroy.

50-year mortgages won’t fix the affordability crisis
Bill Pulte, director of the Federal Housing Finance Agency, recently floated the idea of offering people a 50-year mortgage instead of the more conventional 30-year financing option. it sounds attractive at first because stretching out repaying of a mortgage would lower the borrower's monthly payment, but this wouldn't fix the homeownership affordability crisis.
