Now we go through the same painful ritual that comes every April when we roll over, crack an eyelid and discover that we have a CAT 5 golf hangover. Then we realize that it's a work day so we have to drag ourselves out of bed, wash off the stench of booze, cigarettes and Aqua Velva before getting back at it for the RBC Heritage because some poor sap of a golf tournament has to follow the Masters and this poor sap has to write about that poor sap.
The good news is that picking this thing ain't rocket surgery (that line never gets old . . . I hope). Just find a credible guy who has finished in the top five here over the past few years and there's a good chance he'll finish top ten this year. And for the love of Harry Vardon, do not pick Jason Day. This is a tree-lined short hitters course that guys like Day play once in their career for the hell of it never to return. Jim Furyk has two wins and Luke Donald has two runner-ups here since 2009. Enough said.
I've got Kevin Kisner ready to roll but you can't go wrong with Paul Casey, Brandt Snedeker, Matt Kuchar or Zach Johnson. ZJ could be a nice play because he's probably pissed-off and well rested (in that order) from missing the cut last week. The safe pick is Kuch who won here in 2014, finished 5th last year and showed signs of life at the Masters and the Match Play. If you're feeling really frisky, throw Bryson Dechambeau in there for his first pro start and maybe you'll look like a genius.
On a completely unrelated note, when I wasn't watching golf last weekend, I went and saw Batman v. Superman: Dawn of Justice and here is my three word review . . .
