PGA Tour: winners and losers from the RBC Heritage

Find out who the winners and losers were from this week’s PGA Tour stop, the RBC Heritage, won by Webb Simpson

Each week on the PGA Tour, there are winners and losers in each tournament. Starting this week, and continuing throughout the season, we will look at those who achieved and those who underachieved at each event. Here’s a look at the winners and losers from the RBC Heritage, which was won by Webb Simpson.

Winners

Webb Simpson – The veteran used five birdies in his last seven holes, including a huge 18-foot birdie putt at number 17, to win for the second time this season and the seventh time in his career. In the process, Simpson will take over the lead in the FedEx Cup standings.

Joaquin Niemann – The 21-year-old grabbed a late lead with a birdie on the 16th hole as he positioned himself for perhaps a second PGA Tour win. But a bogey on the 17th hole took him out of contention. Still, Niemann now finds himself in 16th place in the FedEx Cup standings. With his talent, it’s not out of the question for Niemann to win again this season.

Daniel Berger – The winner at last week’s Charles Schwab Challenge, Berger nearly won again, finishing in a tie for third at 20-under par. He got himself into the mix with birdies at 15, 16 and 17, but was unable to birdie the final hole. Still, Berger is as hot as anyone on tour at the moment and he shows no signs of slowing down.

Sergio Garcia – The Spaniard rallied on his last nine holes to get into contention. He had birdies in 15, 16 and 17 to get himself to 19-under par and, at the time, just one shot out of the lead. However, he could not birdie the 18th hole and ultimately finished in a tie for fifth. This event marked Garcia’s first top 10 and first top 25 of the season.

Bernhard Langer – It went largely unnoticed this week, but the 62-year-old Langer made the cut at the RBC Heritage. He opened with a 2-under par 69 and followed that with a 4-under par 67. On the weekend, he had an even-par 71 on Saturday and a 2-under par 69 on Sunday, leaving him at 8-under par for the week. Not bad considering that Langer was twice as old as most of his competition.

Losers

Tyrrell Hatton – Found himself in control of his own destiny on the back nine on Sunday, only to give away the chance to win in consecutive starts. While Hatton will certainly be back in contention again very soon, he will look back at the RBC Heritage as one that got away.

Hideki Matsuyama – This was just not Matsuyama’s week, as he opened with a 3-over par 74, basically taking himself out of the tournament on the first day. He did rebound to shoot a 1-under par 70 on Friday, but he missed the cut by a whopping six shots. For someone as talented as Matsuyama, that’s hard to comprehend.

Patrick Reed – One of the top 10 players in the Official World Golf Rankings, Reed was four shots from making the cut at the RBC Heritage. His front nine on Friday did him in. Reed made four bogeys in six holes, including three in a row on six, seven and eight, to take himself out of contention.

Brendon Todd – Things started fairly well for Todd on Thursday, as he shot a 3-under par 68. However, his 1-over par 72 on Friday left him out of the field for the weekend. For a guy who started this season so hot, even taking an early-season lead in the FedEx Cup standings, Todd seems to be cooling off now, with back-to-back missed cuts.

Sungjae Im – The FedEx Cup standings leader entering this week, Im missed the cut by five shots after a 2-over par 73 on Thursday, followed by a 1-under par 70. He will fall from the top spot in those standings after this week, even after registering a top 10 at the Charles Schwab Challenge last weekend.
