PGA Tour Brunch Coverage of the RBC Heritage

Stewart Cink became the fourth player - the fifth occasion - age 47 or older to win multiple times in a season on the PGA Tour since 1960. Cink joins Davis Love III (5) and Hale Irwin (3) with three or more victories at the RBC Heritage.

Cink won 21 years, two days after his 2000 RBC Heritage title and 16 years, 11 months, 30 days after winning at the Heritage in 2004.

Harold Varner III (T-2 at (-15) closed with a 5-under (66) to claim his career-best finish on Tour. His previous best, a T-3/2019 THE NORTHERN TRUST. Varner’s T-2 came after three straight missed cuts at previous RBC Heritage events.

A week after his T-8 finish at the Masters Tournament, Canada’s Corey Conners finished T-4 at 13-under (271).

First-round leader Cameron Smith (T-9 at (-11) bookended his week with bogey-free rounds (R-1 a (62), and R-4 a (66).

In his bid to join Payne Stewart (1989-90), Davis Love III (1991-92) and Boo Weekley (2007-08) as back-to-back winners at the RBC Heritage, defending champion Webb Simpson finished T-9.

On This Day in Golf History:

April 19, 1987 - Davis Love III won his first PGA Tour title at the (then-MCI) Heritage Classic in Hilton Head, SC. Love won by one stroke over Steve Jones who double-bogeyed the final hole at Harbour Town Golf Links. “Just one bad shot at the wrong moment,” said Jones of his tee shot that went out of bounds.

Parting Putt:

Cliffhanger but it doesn’t count under rules of Golf:

Cliffhanger. Si Woo Kim's birdie putt hung on the edge for over a minute. 😮 Per the rules, a stroke will be added and it will be counted as par since it took longer than 10 seconds to drop.
