Wednesday Preview - RBC Heritage

The players get to catch their breath this week as the PGA Tour leaves Augusta National and heads to South Carolina for the RBC Heritage, an annual after the Masters tradition. Instead of handing out a green jacket, it gives away a relatively ugly looking plaid one, which I think is supposed to signify that the players should have peaked one week earlier.

Course: Harbour Town Golf Links, which is only 7,100 yards and one of the shortest courses the players see all season. Short doesn't always mean easy, though, as high winds ravished the players during the final round last year, and tricky greens kept scoring lower.

Strength Of Field: D. The biggest headline is going to be Jordan Speith, coming off of his near miss at Augusta National. Other than him, there aren't many players playing this week that is going to cause excitement for the casual fan. That is deceiving, though, as this golf course can yield big names as champions, so check back with me on Sunday.

Extra Tidbits: World Golf Hall Of Famers Nick Faldo and Tom Watson are both teeing it up this week. Faldo is playing in a non-major event for the first time in four years, as he has spent a majority of his time working as a commentator. Watson is coming off a missed cut at the Masters...Davis Love III holds the record for most wins at Harbour Town, with 5...Graeme McDowell's 275 was the highest winning score at Harbour Town since Peter Lonard's 277 in 2005...The last person to win at Harbour Town after winning the Masters was Bernhard Langer in 1985. That streak will continue, as Bubba Watson declined to play this week...Jason Day was originally scheduled to play this event, but withdrew after the Masters.

Fantasy Four

1) Will MacKenzie - Has played too solidly this season to not win sometime soon. Three top 10's in his last four starts. Had two weeks off after not playing in the Masters or the Shell Houston Open. Five top 10's total this season is the most in one year for MacKenzie. Finished runner up at the Texas Open.

2) Kevin Na - Top 15's in each of his last two starts. Been haunted by chants of slow play, but doesn't appear to be effecting him. Four top 10's to go alongside his other strong finishes this season. Excellent ball striker on a course that awards it.

3) Stewart Cink - Sleeper pick. Trending upwards after a T14 at the Masters. Two time champion of this event. Currently ranked 103 in FedEx points, which is one of the best positions we've seen since his 2009 Open Championship triumph. If he is to start becoming a contender again, this is the kind of course he needs to perform well at.

4) Trevor Immelman - Mixed bag of results this season, but did finish in the top 10 here last season. This is more of a gut pick then it is anything else, and may bite me in the end, but something about this course and this field tells me Immelman will be part of the conversation on Sunday.
