Scottie Scheffler is also in the mix but sitting six shots back after the first 18 holes on Thursday
in one of the stranger transitions this
PGA Tour season the RBC Heritage started
on Thursday Just 4 days after the final
round of the Masters it’s a great field
in a no cut big money event which is fun
for fans however it felt odd to watch
golfers play a regular PGA Tour stop so
quickly after the first major
championship of the year so it was no
surprise to see some of the bigger Stars
struggle a bit and some lesser names
rise to the top of the leaderboard one
of those names is JT Poston who shot a
round of the day8 under 63 he’s trailed
by well everybody else in the field at
the $20 million event at Hilton Head
let’s take a look at his round as well
as those on the chase going into round
two on Friday the leader one JT Poston 8
Poston was second in the field in
pudding on Thursday which which is why
he’s leading but he also hit it well
which has not been the case after
putting together five top 20 seconds and
six starts on the west coast Poston has
no top 20 seconds and four starts since
heading east he credited better ball
striking he was top 15 in that category
on Thursday but also gave a shout out to
his wife for allowing him to get a
little sleep with their newborn on the
road we’ve got a two-bedroom condo
explained Poston my mom is staying with
us we’ve got her in her little setup
last night my wife was great she got up
in the middle of the night a couple
times when she was ready to eat or being
fussy and let me sleep so maybe we’ll
keep doing that other contenders T2
Colin morawa Sheamus power 6 T4 Austin
EOS McKenzie Hughes Seth thala Pat trick
Rogers ludvig abber sep straa five Berg
has the look you want to see from a
young potential star going into this
event off a solo second at the Masters
he’s a flushers flusher hit 13 of 14
Fairways on Thursday with that perfect
swing of his and Cruis to a 66 with
absolutely nothing on or around the
greens terrifying stuff my focus shifted
right when I got here said ber
we were trying to make sure that last
week was last week and this week was
this week but yeah obviously last week
is still something I look back on with a
smile but yeah my focus is here this
week and hopefully we’ll be able to keep
up good golf I’d like to think that I’m
young and I’ll be able to handle it he
added about playing three consecutive
weeks but yes I think I’ll crash for a
few days next week when I’m not playing
but I’m looking for forward to the rest
of the week
