| 2015 Masters Champ Jordan Spieth |
The RBC Heritage presented by Boeing had another memorable
finish on Sunday. The 2014 tourney ended with a chip in birdie to win on the
18th hole, and the 2015 event needed two playoff holes to determine a winner.
PGA Tour veteran Jim Furyk is 44 years old and he ended his streak of 100
starts without a win by defeating Kevin Kisner to claim his second Heritage
win.
Furyk
has won multiple events during his career including the 2003 U.S. Open and the
2010 Heritage title. When he teed off on the back nine on Thursday morning he
faced the same stiff odds as the entire field, namely to beat Jordan Spieth who
was the freshly minted Masters champion. Spieth became the second youngest
player to win at Augusta National after Tiger Woods, and he came to Hilton Head
to continue his stellar play. Not to mention that Matt Kuchar was fired up to
defend his 2014 Heritage title.
The weather forecast looked ominous for the entire four days of the tourney, but in the end it wasn’t until Sunday when the rain had any affect. The PGA Tour made the decision to start play on Sunday early in the morning, so that they could finish before a weather system would be passing by. Ends up that was a great decision since heavy lightening and pouring rain arrived in the Lowcountry early that afternoon. A taped broadcast of the Sunday golf was aired on CBS, but by then the tartan jacket was already awarded to Furyk
