Potter Skies to 74 in First Round at Hilton Head
Friday, June 19, 2020

    Ted Potter got off to an inauspicious start yesterday in the first round of the RBC Heritage at Hilton Head, with another disastrous double bogey leading him to a 3-over-par 74. The early projected cut line over the Harbour Town Golf Links is 3 under, so he will have to shoot the lights out today to make it to the weekend. 

    Ted played the front nine first and made two birdies and two bogeys for an even-par 36. But a double-bogey 6 on No. 10 began his slide on the back. He also made one birdie and two bogeys for a 3-over 38. On the par 5s, which Ted usually picks up a lot of ground, he made one birdie and two bogeys despite hitting 11 of 14 fairways.

    Ian Poulter and Mark Hubbard too the first-round lead with 7-under 64s. There was a logjam at 65 among Webb Simpson, Ryan Palmer, Dylan Frittelli, Sebastian Munoz, Brice Garnett and Viktor Hovland. 

    Tied for 16th with 4-under 67s were both Seminoles, Brooks Koepka and last week's winner in Texas, Daniel Berger. Bill Horschel was best of the Gators with a 2-under 69, while Brian Gay shot 71 and Matt Every 74.
