With the years first major behind us we move on to the Harbour Town Golf Links in Hilton, South Carolina for this weeks RBC Heritage Tournament.

Harbour Town Golf Links is a true test of golf and plays to a par 71. Given it is a links course, wind is of course a major factor and this course suits the shot makers. The greens are small so the ability to scramble for par is important and perhaps the most critical part of a players game this week.

The winning score here is usually around the (-10) to (-12) mark, but Webb Simpson broke the mould last year with a victory at (-22).

Dustin Johnson missed the cut at Augusta last week, but he does start favourite here at 10/1 ahead of the defending champion, Webb Simpson who is 12/1 at the time of writing. Patrick Cantlay, another disappointment last week, is 16/1 and you can get 20/1 Colin Morikawa who had a solid, but not spectacular Masters and 22/1 and better the balance.

SELECTIONS:

Collin Morikawa each way at 20/1

Morikawa was well positioned after the 2^nd round of the Masters, but he failed to kick on over the weekend, eventually finishing inside the Top 20, his best showing since his Tournament victory 3 starts back.

There is nothing in the way of course form to go on as he has only played here once and made the cut here on debut without threatening the front pages of the leader board. What I like about Morikawa is his solid temperament and the fact that he is hitting his iron sweetly which is going to be a great asset at this course.

Sergio Garcia each way at 40/1

Garcia failed to make an impact at Augusta last week where he missed the cut, but prior to that he was in great form with a Top 5 and a Top 10 finish in the lead-up events. He returned to this course after a long absence last year and finished in the Top 5 and having had the weekend off he should be fresh and raring to go.

Matt Kuchar each way at 50/1

Like Garcia, Kutchar missed the cut last week, but prior to that he was also in good form with a Top 15 and a Top 3 finish. It is his course form that catches the eye and he is a past winner of this event and in the last 7 renewals has finished in the Top 10 four times with a victory, a runner-up and a 5^th place included. His worst finish in that time was 41^st although that did come last year.

J.T. Poston each way at 100/1

Of course I had to throw in a triple figure roughie and Poston fits the bill. He has had a couple of weeks off and prior to that was inconsistent, but does have 2 Top 30 finishes in his last 4 starts. His course form really attracts me though and in his two efforts here he has finished 6^th and 8^th and so he clearly loves the layout.
