2016 RBC Heritage Discussion Thread

Now they're sucking brysons cock,no footage of Luke.

Faldo ....behave yourself.

[Mr. Desmond]

I see John Senden just finished his round with a 65 to finish early at -1.

Less than 2 weeks ago, he and his young son came up to the range around 6 pm next to me. He lives in the nearby golf course community, and the range is nothing but sand and twigs of grass. We needed the 4 inches of rain that we are now getting. His son would hit a few minutes and he'd say something to him for guidance. I'm trying to watching his rhythm/tempo without being a bother. Even in those garbage lies, he chunked a few wedges. Gave me hope momentarily that my chunking in that gunk was somewhat excusable.

Does this mean the people who dismiss Branden Grace at majors because he's never won anything on this continent will need to find a new rationale?

I think it means Branden is maturing as a player that can handle a lead. If the audience dismisses him, they do so at their peril.

Grace is on the same level as Oosthuizen, maybe better. Very capable of being a threat to win major championships moving forward. This win will likely move him to the top10 in the world.

Certainly.  But he's already been a threat.  He was one lost tee shot (on the 70th hole) away from the US Open just last year.

I feel like Oosthuizen could be the number-one player in the world if he ever wanted to work for it, so that's quite a boast.

Oosthuizen could be number one if he could putt and stay healthy. Those have been his biggest nemesis' the last 5 years. Grace's talent level, like Louis', is up there, though. Both those guys have the game to win majors. Grace posted two 3rds in the majors last year and is only getting better with age.

I didn't realize Oosthuizen is going to be 34 this year.  The clock's is ticking...or maybe he just wants to be like Miguel Angel and just:

Grace is thinking (in Maxwell Smart's voice), missed The Masters by that much.

I dunno, what I saw of the telecast was pretty much the same as most every other week, we all know The Masters telecast is pretty darn stodgy.

Good article. Thankfully over here we didn't have so much of the painful CBS Augusta coverage as there was lots of cutting back to the studio for these sorts of insights. The RBC was much easier to watch and enjoy though, even if it didn't have that compelling finish. Still a bit gutted for Donald, but Grace played the best over the four days and definitely deserved it.

I drove up to Hilton Head and attended the Saturday round.   My favorite part of attending a golf tournament is watching the guys warm up on the driving range.   I watched Jason Day warm up.   These pro golfers are just incredible.   Incredible. 

Saturday was really crowded.   I went to this tournament a year ago, and it wasn't that crowded. 

Man, there were some smoking hot girls at that tournament. 

Really looking forward to attending The Players Championship here in Jacksonville.
