RBC Heritage Tournament Free Picks
HILTON HEAD, SC (ATS Consultants) – The RBC Heritage from Hilton Island, S.C. is the tournament that comes after the Masters.
Last week’s Grand Slam was a classic in Augusta with Bubba Watson winning his first major in a playoff over Louis Oosthuizen. Neither player is here this week but there are still some very good golfers that will have to be precise at Harbour Town Golf Links, which is ranked second over the last 10 years on tour in hardest to hit greens in regulation. This is a tough course but with the weather expected to be good, there should be some low scores. Winners of the last six Heritage events are all back including last year’s champ-Brandt Snedeker and 2010 champ Jim Furyk. The favorite is Luke Donald who once again did not contender at a major.
