Charles Howell III’s played the RSM Classic every year. He’s among the Sea Island Mafia teeing it up this week in his backyard.

Howell’s familiarity with Sea Island has paid off in spades as he’s recorded three top-10s and has made six of seven total cuts.

Howell missed the cut last week but it was only by one at two-under and he’s just a few weeks removed from a T5 at the CIMB Classic. On the year, he’s missed just four cuts and has four top-10s.

In 2017-18, Howell ranked above average on Tour in every main strokes gained category. He’s 29th in strokes gained tee to green.
