Full Tournament Results

Let's rewind to the days when Matt Fitzpatrick was just a 👦🏼 young golf enthusiast with dreams of seeing his idol, 🐅 Tiger Woods, in action at the RBC Heritage. Growing up, Fitzpatrick's earliest memories of Harbour Town were filled with anticipation and hopes that Woods would make an appearance at the tournament. Unfortunately, Fitzpatrick's wishes went unfulfilled 😕 , as Woods only played once at Hilton Head back in 1999 when Fitzpatrick was just 4 years old.

Fast forward ⏭ to today, and Fitzpatrick has a new, unforgettable memory of his own at Harbour Town—clinching 🏆 victory at the RBC Heritage. The England 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿 native defeated defending champ Jordan Spieth on the third playoff hole, taking home 🤑 $3.6 million from a 💰$20 million purse. From young spectator to triumphant champion, Fitzpatrick's journey has come full circle.

Content These Days

Give me your best (roast)

Nothing says content like a good ole’ Max Homa roast of a poor sap’s golf swing. If you’re feeling bad about your swing, Max is not going to make you feel better about it. At least we can all laugh together while we look at some of his best swing roasts on Twitter 🐦 :

Course of the Day

Welcome to Bandon Dunes, a seaside golf utopia in 🦬 Oregon where fairways meet 🌊 ocean spray! In this golfer's wonderland, you'll discover five captivating courses, each with its own enchanting tale. From the dune-kissed Bandon Dunes to the forested Bandon Trails, and from the nostalgic Old Macdonald to the breathtaking Sheeps Ranch, each course is a treasure trove of adventure. So grab your clubs, brave the sea breeze, and embark on a golfing quest like no other. At Bandon Dunes, every swing is pure magic ✨ and every putt a storybook ending!

Now, as for how a below average golfer might fare at Bandon Dunes... let's just say that they might want to bring a lot of extra balls 🤔. With all the wind, sand traps, and waving greens, it's not uncommon for even experienced golfers to struggle. I’m sure it’ll still be a time to remember though 👍.

19th Hole

“You launched that thing!” 🚀

One of the joys of golf is being able to let loose and enjoy yourself. And there is nothing better than throwing out some one-liners or letting off some steam by yelling obscenities (at the ball of course). Everyone has their own choice of words, so we’re going to do our best to keep it clean. Here are some of the best things that golfers say on the course (some non-verbal). I would suggest keeping some of these in your back pocket for your next round:

🏌️‍♂️ When someone hits a great tee shot:

• “That one was piped!”

• “Oh that thing was spanked!”

• “Have you been lifting man 🏋️‍♂️?”

• “That thing was a piss-missile”

• “You slapped the s#@! out of that ball”

• *Whistles impressively*

⛳ When you miss a putt:

• “Just a bit outside” (quoting Bob Uecker in Major League)

• “Yeah… the greens are slow today”

• “Yeah… the greens are fast today”

• “Yeah… you’re missing everything today 🤷‍♂️”

• *shakes head in disbelief and sighs*

😑 Unsolicited golf advice from a 23 Handicap:

• “You’re swinging with just your arms”

• “You keep picking that head up!” (my personal favorite)

• “I don’t know man… have you ever tried lessons?”

• “You know a slice is from coming over the top 🤦‍♂️”

• “You were aiming that way the entire time, I was going to say something but…”

🤬 Favorite things to say when things aren’t going your way:

• “I just don’t understand what I am doing wrong”

• “Oh go f%&# yourself you stupid ball”

• “I was just slicing, but now the ball decides to hook”

• “I can’t catch a break on these putts”

• “F@$! this”

• “Great round fellas, see you guys next week 🙌”
