Fitzpatrick then lined up a 12-foot birdie putt for the win.
Fox finished tied for 16th after an even-par final round 71 had him at nine-under.
Fox birdied the seventh, but bogeyed the eighth. He was looking good at 10-under after a birdie on the 13th but dropped a shot on the 18th for the second consecutive round.
It's the best finish for Fox since the Genisis Invitational in February where he was tied sevent.
