Going into the tournament all eyes, and bets, were on Rory Mcilroy, Justin Thomas, and Bryson DeChambeau to walk away with the title of tournament champion for this year. However, one surprising competitor rose to the challenge and came away with the victory and a new course record.

Webb Simpson was crowned the champion of the RBC Heritage this year with the score of twenty-two under par. This score beats the previous course record by two strokes. Webb Simpson is not a well-known golfer, but has been playing on the PGA Tour for twelve years.

This victory was his second of the season, but only his seventh within the span of his professional career. Although he ranks 87th in driving distance on the Tour, he is 1st in birdie average per round with 4.97. This just goes to prove the age old saying, “Drive for show and putt for dough.”

The PGA Tour has led the sports world in their return to play from this COVID-19 pandemic and proved to all that sports can be brought back safely. Although fans have been removed from the events, they are doing an excellent job of televising the action for all the viewers at home.

The Tour will continue this week with both a charity match and the Memorial Tournament at Muirfield Village Golf Course in Dublin, Ohio.
