– RBC Heritage Round 3 Tee Times: Low Scores Expected
Despite windy conditions, the overall talent has still managed to push some low scores. The low round at Harbour Town Golf Links on Friday was a 3-under 68 turned in by Matthew Fitzpatrick, Anirban Lahiri, Denny McCarthy, Trey Mullinax and Ryan Moore. Nine more players were three shots back at 4-under 69.
Rounds in the 60s are not surprising on the Harbour Town Golf Links that has held the tournament since 1969. The narrow fairways and small, undulating greens make it a course that can be mastered with good iron play. The wind was a factor on Friday, but it did not stop a total of 38 players from breaking 70.
With so many players within striking distance of the lead, a low score in Round 3 on Saturday could lead to a spot on or near the leaderboard.
– Matt Kuchar Looks to Maintain Lead on Moving Day
Matt Kuchar, playing with confidence after a stellar Round 2, will look to maintain his two-stroke lead on Moving Day. The veteran golfer has been in control of the tournament so far, carding a bogey-free 65 on Friday.
His closest pursuers include Russell Henley, who is two shots back at 10-under, and Harold Varner III, who sits at 9-under. Kuchar will need to stay focused and minimize mistakes if he wants to extend his lead and set himself up for a potential come-from-behind victory.
On Saturday, Kuchar will tee off in the final group alongside Henley at 1:45 p.m. ET. The featured pairing is sure to draw a large gallery and provide plenty of excitement as the tournament enters its crucial stages.
– Potential Upsets Brewing: Players to Watch for a Shake-up
– Potential Upsets Brewing: Players to Watch for a Shake-up
There are a few players who could potentially pull off an upset in the third round of the RBC Heritage. Here are three players to watch:
- K.H. Lee: Lee is a long shot to win the tournament, but he has been playing well lately. He finished tied for 13th at the Masters and tied for sixth at the Valero Texas Open. Lee is a good ball-striker and he could make a run if he can get his putter going.
- Ryan Moore: Moore is another player who could make a run. He is a former PGA Tour winner and he has been playing well this year. Moore finished tied for 10th at the Arnold Palmer Invitational and tied for 14th at the Players Championship. Moore is a good all-around player and he could be a threat if he can get his game going.
- Russell Henley: Henley is a bit of a dark horse, but he has the game to contend. He is a former PGA Tour winner and he has been playing well this year. Henley finished tied for 13th at the Masters and tied for sixth at the Valero Texas Open. Henley is a good putter and he could make a run if he can get his game going.
– Course Conditions and Weather Forecast for Saturday’s Action
**Course Conditions and Weather Forecast for Saturday’s Action**
The RBC Heritage returns to Harbour Town Golf Links this weekend for the second consecutive year, and weather conditions are expected to play a significant role in the outcome of the tournament.
For Saturday’s third round, players can expect fair skies and light winds. Temperatures are forecast to reach the low 80s, making for a comfortable day of golf. However, with the wind coming from the east, the holes along the exposed coast will be more challenging.
The greens are rolling true, and the rough is thick and penalizing. As a result, players will need to be accurate with their approach shots and avoid getting into trouble off the tee. The course is also expected to be fast and firm, so players will need to be careful with their speed on the greens.
