PGA Tour; RBC Heritage final leaderboard here
At one point I thought there was going to be a 9 man playoff, as the ideal scoring conditions and the crowded leaderboard let a lot of players in with a chance, they all came down the stretch posting -12's all with their own chances of winning, all with their own stories on the Harbour Town course at the RBC Heritage.
When it came down to the finish line Jordan Spieth and Patrick Cantlay got it to -13 in a dead heat
Spieth who missed an 18" putt on Saturday had a combination of 2 eagles, 3 putts, missed birdies, all on his way to -5 66 -13 in the clubhouse and watched as all the others one by one couldn't match it then Cantlay (68 -13) missed his chance to win in regulation with a birdie but couldn't.
In the playoff Spieth hit a poor drive and his 200 yard approach bunkered up against the face. Cantlay hit a poor 9 iron approach into a plugged lie. Spieth hit his stiff, Cantlay to 35 feet, game over.
Sometimes in baseball a team gets beat 13-2 and laughs it off knowing they are not that bad, it's the one's they lose 3-2 in the 9th inning that hurt, they look back on all the chances they missed to win.
A lot of players left Hilton Head and this version of the RBC Heritage feeling like they let one get away. 7 players T3 at -12.
Jordan Spieth got lucky, it was his day and he summed it up "sometimes you play well and don't win, others like today you don't play that well and you do"
Canadians : Corey Conners 66 72 68 69 -9 T12, Adam Hadwin 69 69 70 69 -7 T26, Adam Svensson T27 66 73 67 71 T26 -7...Roger Sloan 68 71 72 73 +2 T59 E
