We’re back baby!
PGA Tour can’t stop won’t stop.
This disgruntled CPA isn’t naming names.
Can’t believe they’d stack it right after The Masters, but I certainly don’t hate it.
Last year’s leaderboard and recent winners at the Heritage.
I feel like I’m blogging a Pete Dye course every damn week.
What a legend that guy was.
Predictably, it’s a track that encourages target golf.
you might’t just spray and pray here.
You’ll also see one of Pete Dye’s trademarks - bulkheads.
That’s how you end up with creative shots like these.
At this time of year the wind is usually a factor.
I’d guess the winner comes in around -15.
As picturesque as it is, it’s got some teeth too.
All of it is susceptible to the wind coming off the water to the left.
And all of it is awesome.
One of the best golf holes in America that I’m dying to play some day.
TV Coverage
Good mix of GC and CBS this weekend.
Tiger’s Ridiculous Shot of the Week
So stupid.
The Trophy
Alright so this is an interesting one.
It’s just some fancy lookin fella wearing some pop in of top hat.
Seeing as I’ve made trophy-evaluation my duty, I decided to do some research.
Fromhiltonhead.com:
Sir William Innes was a wealthy Scottish golfer.
It was based off an original oil painting by Lemuel Francis Abbott in 1778.
They’ve got a guy running around in his plaid giddy-up getting people excited about golf.
They’ve got the cannon to kick off the event.
And the best part of all, the winner gets the plaid jacket to go with his trophy.
I’ll give this a7.2/10.
Masters winner and reclaimed world #1 Jon Rahm is the betting favorite at +700 at theBarstool Sportsbook.
He placed 33rd, which is damn near as bad as it gets for him.
I’d stay away from him and Scheffler.
With that said I’m rolling withCollin Morikawa at +1800.
Ball-striking king should thrive in this target golf environment.
He just doesn’t have the length that most of the big boys have.
Doesn’t mean he can’t make an absolute killing at tracks like this one.
This guy won 2 weeks ago!
And was +2200 here last year and finished T-12!
Better yet, he’s Top 10’d in 3 out of his 4 appearances at the Heritage.
But he also was in that pack of guys who finished a stroke behind Spieth and Cantlay last year.
Alright gang, that’s all I got.
If you’re down on HHI, enjoy the hell outta the Triangle and enjoy the Heritage.
