We all know very well what comes next after the Masters at Augusta: the RBC Heritage! There is a high expectation that this tournament will be filled with a great atmosphere as well as a chance to see the true beauty of golf.
According to Jordan Spieth, he has high expectations for the tournament and he has a clear vision of what he wants to achieve. There are a number of ways in which the RBC Heritage is different to other tournaments, and golfers are going to be asked to take a completely different approach than they have been used to.
“I think on a course like this, it’s going to be more unique than any of the ones that we’ve experienced in any of the elevated events so far because you have a course where it doesn’t matter about length,” he said, as quoted by yahoosports.com “You just have to golf your ball around.
It’s an advantage if you hit it far and straight, but you’ve got to take risk on more than you do other places if you want to try and keep hitting driver. It could be just such a massively bunched leaderboard of such big names, it’s got the potential to be as exciting an event as we’ve seen this year”.
Routing
Routing also requires working the ball in both directions in addition to accuracy off the tee. The importance of this was emphasized by Spieth precisely. The whole story, however, is going to be influenced by a wide range of factors, and it will be interesting to see who will be able to show the best of themselves.
“I’m sure there’s plenty of winners here who have only had to move it the other way once or twice, but yes, in order to get to all the pins and really position yourself the right way, it requires pretty much both ball flights,” said Spieth
