One week after the Masters, the PGA TOUR heads to South Carolina for the RBC Heritage at Harbour Town Golf Links. This is the fifth of eight Signature Events in the season. Scottie Scheffler returns to the field this week, despite being fresh off a victory at the Masters. The world No. 1 has not shot an over-par round all season and has three victories (and one runner-up) so far in 2024. He made his debut at Harbour Town last year and finished T11. Matt Fitzpatrick looks to become the first golfer to go back-to-back at the RBC Heritage since Boo Weekley in 2007-08. Fitzpatrick, a playoff victor last year, has two top-10 finishes this season. He has just one missed cut at Harbour Town over the last six years. Ludvig Åberg will also be in South Carolina this week after his impressive second place finish in his Masters debut. He has four top-10s (including two runner-up results) so far this season and is knocking on the door for a victory. Others to look out for this week are Jordan Spieth, Justin Thomas, Hideki Matsuyama and Viktor Hovland.

guy who had a good week last week morawa
dve for
third and gets it to go at the second
hole so he’s off to a good start got to
take care of those par fives these guys
talk about it every week Hing for it to
cut off
that going right at that
bunker that’s fine he accepted that
before he hit the shot that’s where we
just saw Rory H hold it from just about
the same
but okay he doesn’t whole L I was
thinking of the Masters a couple of
years ago of the 18th when maroy and
morawa both made
it okay good birdie there lost all the
Sher last week with Chef number one
trying to win it
again and you’re checking out the
trackman Tracer technology presented by
T-Mobile for business
just cleared the bunker and it’s going
to end up just nice nice and cozy
there back at seven with morala great
look
here
okay continues this good play from last
week K morawa laid up well back yeah I
kind of thought he’d do that that’s a
lob wedge old school there
oh yeah hey you got to play to your
strength and his strengths are his wedge
game just seven yards
closer this has got a nice line to
it yeah it sure does he’s going to have
a great look there he may even get a
Little Help from chle on the
putt got the good lead and made the good
stroke more power nice
[Applause]
card pitching
wedge just a little left of it oh by
about 5 ft good shot rolls out to
about 12 ft
there the second he met him when he was
a kid that lead Le was special yeah well
that was pretty obvious more a coward
for
birdie cting aggressively that ball flew
in the hole good birdie nice birdie
earlier at 13 for Colin morawa let’s see
what he can do on the te
here yeah this one starting at the left
Center trying to fade towards the flag
this looks really
good it’s more what we saw two years ago
Baron well this is getting better and
better this could get really good that
is such that’s we’ve seen so far today
well we’ve been up here the last few
hours what a
shot very
nice morawa is going to enjoy that drive
at 15 down the left side with a cut and
that is right in the heart of the
Fairway avoid those two pawns that you
use the
telestration not bad here hit
it begging for it to get hit by that
breeze off the
r you said it call longest up out that’s
actually a pretty good leave right there
a lot of green to work with a lovely
strike from Colin marawa sure was boy he
has rehearsed this a bunch it’s not that
tough of a pitch tons of green to work
with
okay
yeah he’ll have that for birdie and try
to get it to five under
par yeah just does catch enough of the
hall good
birdie as we go back to 17 and mor t-
shot eight iron great test for his swing
with this flag on the left he went to
his go-to shot which is that little cut
and another Beauty out of morawa playing
really well today he’s only missed two
Fairways on top of some good iron shots
back here at 17 now morawa for birdie
starting to look like the old Colin
morawa that was a confident stroke
there Mor here late in the afternoon
putting on quite a
show 196 but he’s looking at
174 that was an eight iron
well
Str stay
there on the
back did you by the way did you catch
the eclipse last week when we
Augusta no that was amazing I didn’t I
was getting rid of there’s more missing
that it really was incredible to look at
I saw pictures though Frank I’m going to
wait till 44 right 20 44 is the next one
is that the next one yeah W mat just is
low score of the Year 65 Colin how’ you
kind of describe the round today uh it
was very solid you know uh the one bogey
I made didn’t even hit that bad of an
approach shot and I think it clipped the
tree and somehow bounced 25 yards to the
right but um for the most part it’s just
a continuation and and just trust of
what I’ve been working on um especially
kind of over this past week and a half
it help like playing a second week after
you played so well last week in a major
to come here and hopefully continue that
form yeah it does and and sometimes you
know especially the way I’ve been
playing you never know how it’s going to
be um but when you find this little
rhythm and you find this just kind
of just pathway and and just to play
golf you know it’s it’s very simple and
sometimes when you’re playing bad you
look back and you wonder why it can’t be
that simple um but it’s it’s a nice
little Groove to be in and hopefully we
can kind of keep this going um
throughout the rest of this week when
you’re when you find something like you
feel like you did at the Masters and
play that way and then start off another
round like this like how long does it
take to where you feel like that’s built
in and you don’t you’re not necessarily
wondering if it’s going to keep it yeah
no no I mean trust me I I had to you
have to believe in it um you know and
when I saw the shots and the shots keep
going on Tuesday and Wednesday of this
week um at that point I know what we’re
working on is working you know a lot of
the Swing thoughts I’ve kind of been
flipping the book through is you know
worked for one day or two days and then
it’s gone and then um but look it it
lasted all the way through the Masters
um it’s lasted through here so what I’m
doing it’s working and I just got to
kind of stick to that and just
understand why it’s working um and just
go out there and play golf guys will say
when they’re playing really well they’re
not really thinking about anything have
you reached that point where you don’t
really have to feel like you’re thinking
about it no I mean I’ve always thought
about stuff to be honest even my best
golf I’ve always thought about stuff um
you know whether it’s one little swing
thought and then you know where the
Target and where I’m trying to hit it um
for me it’s weird like I get to a point
sometimes where I’m not thinking and it
almost hurts me um I got to be focused I
got to know what I’m focused on uh so
there’s always something in the thought
I mean I get that point where some guys
aren’t thinking but I think it’s
probably because they’re thinking about
too many things that they’re able to
calm it down in in that sense I know
that the golf swing is very physical but
there’s also a lot of mental side to the
game when you are going through this and
you’re and you’re working hard towards a
towards the goal you know improving your
swing can you speak some things into
existence and you know the positive
mindset does that help sometimes uh
sometimes uh I’ve tried that and uh
sometimes I think every time you teed up
on a whatever round it may be you have
to be able to take everything you’ve
done through the practice and through
that grind and be able to be positive
and be able to be you know just believe
in yourself and it’s hard to do that
sometimes when you know you don’t know
where the ball’s going um but when you
find something you know it just helps
that little pattern everything helps
each other and it’s it’s kind of this
trickle down effect so um I’m using this
one thing that we found last week to
just just to my advantage and and just
trying to push every other part of my
game um as well so thanks for watching
