One golfer who’s primed for a huge performance this week is William McGirt. He has been playing some superb golf of late, finishing in the top-30 in three of his last four starts, including a tie for 22nd at last week’s Masters. What makes McGirt such a threat in every golf tournament that he competes on is his solid hitting off the tee. He is sixth in the PGA Tour in driving accuracy percentage with a phenomenal 71.40 percent clip. That incredible precision will come in handy for the veteran when tackling the narrow fairways of this notoriously tough Harbour Town course.
Looking for a worthy sleeper this week? How about Charles Howell III? The Augusta native has been in outstanding form of late, notching top-15 finishes in eight of his last 12 starts, including a tie for second at the Farmers Insurance Open last January. While the RBC Heritage hasn’t been one of Howell’s strongest events from a historical perspective, the 37-year-old did finish tied for 23rd at Harbour Town last year. That experience will prove crucial for Howell as he attempts to win his first RBC Heritage title this year.
Another golfer who can definitely make a run at the RBC Heritage crown this week is Wesley Bryan. The South Carolina native has been playing some solid golf of late, grabbing top-7 finishes in three of his last five starts. Key to Bryan’s ascent this season has been his outstanding play from tee to green. He is 54th in the PGA Tour in strokes gained in that particular department with an impressive .567 clip. That will be a major weapon for Bryan when dealing with the challenging 7,099-yard, par-71 Harbour Town course.
