Lexi Thompson, a former major champion, missed the cut at the ANA Inspiration after struggling with scores of 78-74. This performance continues a trend of poor play at majors, with Thompson averaging 74.4 over her last seven starts. Despite her past success at majors, including multiple runner-up finishes, Thompson has struggled to contend in recent years. Thompson’s best results at majors include losing a five-shot lead at the 2021 U.S. Women’s Open and surrendering a lead at the KPMG Women’s PGA Championship. Since then, Thompson has only made one major cut at the Women’s PGA last year. Her inconsistent play…

This puts her slightly ahead of men’s World No. 1 and Masters champion Scottie Scheffler’s average of 4.35 on the PGA Tour. Korda has been capitalizing on the opportunities presented by par 5s, as seen in her strong performance during the major Chevron Championship. Throughout her win streak and the Chevron Championship, Korda has been outstanding on par 5s, with a total of 43 under par. This accounts for nearly all of her overall 47-under total during…

Despite his recent struggles, he has shown a resurgence in form at the RBC Heritage tournament with a tie for the lead heading into the weekend. Morikawa credited a swing change he discovered before the Masters for his improved performance, coupled with a switch to a mallet putter that has reflected in his overall game. At Harbour Town, Morikawa has only made a single bogey in 36 holes and is currently tied for the lead with Tom Hoge and…

The RBC Heritage at Harbour Town Golf Links in Hilton Head, S.C., is a unique event on the PGA Tour due to the distinct design of the course. Designed by Pete Dye, the course features railroad ties and visual deception that adds challenge to shots off the tee and into the green. At just 7,099 yards with small greens, the course favors ball-strikers over bombers, making it an interesting venue for golf fans. The recent winner of the RBC Heritage was Scottie Scheffler, who dominated the field with a comfortable lead. The tournament is known for attracting top-ranked players on…
