Who to watch for at the RBC Heritage
Best Bets:

---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
T35 | T44 | T21 | T14 | T48 | T7 | T61 | T10 | T32 | CUT |
Yes I know that his final round scoring average in his last five events is just a notch below 74, but you have to think that all of that will be history if he could win. Course hasn’t been too kind to him in past years, but he is hungry and would really like to break out of this funk with a win, look for a good week with a good Sunday finish.
Jim Furyk
2013 | ’12 | ’11 | ’10 | ’09 | ’08 | ’07 | ’06 | ’05 | ’04 | ’03 | ’02 |
---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
T42 | T8 | T21 | Win | CUT | 4 | CUT | 2 | T2 | T10 | T15 |
Has a lot of great memories of this course, has been playing better of late, look for a great week out of him.
Jordan Spieth

May not be playing well this week but he will snap out of his funk very soon, could be this week.
Russell Henley
