RBC Heritage (Day One)
An interesting opening day on a course where mistakes are punished. Luke Donald & Branden Grace lead the way on -5 but the looming presence of Jason Day is one of four players one shot behind. A mixed day for our guys with Kuchar, Dechambeau & Choi are well placed to challenge, Kisner, Fitzpatrick & Simpson need a good Day Two while Jaidee is struggling to make the cut.
Other notable scores: Zach Johnson Par, Ian Poulter +1, Danny Lee +1, Brandt Snedeker +2, Jamie Lovemark +3, Graeme McDowell +3, Billy Horschel +3, Paul Casey +4, Jason Dufner +5, Harris English +6.
Matt Kuchar (Top Ten) 5/2 -4 Tied 3rd
Kevin Kisner 25/1 +1 Tied 58th
Matt Fitzpatrick 28/1 +1 Tied 58th
Bryson Dechambeau 66/1 -1 Tied 25th
Webb Simpson 66/1 +2 Tied 86th
KJ Choi 100/1 -1 Tied 25th
Thongchai Jaidee 200/1 +5 Tied 119th

The ultimate measure of a man is not where he stands in moments of comfort and convenience, but where he stands at times of challenge and controversy.
