Canadians in the packed leaderboard, Sunday charge to the finish at RBC Heritage.. Live 4th round

RBC Heritage 4th round leaderboard https://www.pgatour.com/competition/2020/rbc-heritage/leaderboard.html

While the Saturday leaders stalled Webb Simpson 68. Bryson DeChambeau 70, Corey Connors 69, the rest of the field closed the gap with a scoring average of 67.7, so now we have a cavalry charge to the finish with 35 players at -10 and 4 tied at the top with -15.

Six players posted 63's in the early going to set the stage and now as they say in horse racing, " they're rounding the clubhouse turn and down the stretch they come !!"

Tyrrell Hatton, Abraham Ancer, Webb Simpson and Ryan Palmer are in the lead -15.

Corey Connors had 3 birdies in his first 5 holes, then a bogey at the 8th for 34 out, but had 2 bogey's with 2 birdies coming in 35 for 69, so today he sits at T8 -13. Mac Hughes was out in 36 but came in 33 69 T28, while Adam Hadwin shot 67 T36 -9 , out in 32 including an eagle 3 at the 2nd, but lost that with a double bogey at the 14th.

Tyrrell Hatton the emotional little Englishman who won the "Arnie Palmer Invitational" before the break summed it up best " It wouldn't be surprising on Sunday if someone around 20th goes out and shoot poteentially a really low score to win the tournament"

75 players made the cut at -4, a record 223 under par. Webb Simpson explaine why " There's a softness to the golf course, so more balls have stayed in the fairway that would have run off through the pine straw and the greens are way softer, we are used to really firm greens at Hilton Head, and cooler temperatures so in the spring the ball didn't go as far. We're also used to a lot more wind.

All those factors play a role. Any time we get soft  greens we will shoot low scores. So I think all that combined is why the par 71 is playing like a 67."

Hatton and Ancer are the final pairing at 2.10pm.

Canadian pairings : Corey Connors -13 is off at 1.00pm with Brice Garnett, Mac Hughes -10 with Matt Jones at 11.20 and Adam Hadwin -9 with Marc Hubbard at 10.50

Jordan Spieth who the commentary crew at the almost silent Harbour Town course declared "back again" after his 8 birdies in round 1 must be "gone again" after his closing 75

Rory shot 66 -10, DeChambeau (70) is at -12 so is Dustin Johnson(67) and Brooks Koepka (68).

Abraham Ancer, a Presidents Cup star from Mexico " Definitely anybody's tournament"

Pity there's nobody there to see it...
