Greg Ducharme expects Xander Schauffele to contend strongly at the RBC Heritage, noting Xander's impressive recent ball-striking performances. Despite dealing with a rib injury earlier this season, Schauffele had one of his best iron performances ever at the Valspar Championship and maintained strong iron play at the Masters, hitting 54 greens of regulation at Augusta National. Greg pointed out Schauffele's rust in short game and putting, areas that won't be severely tested at Harbour Town's flatter greens, suggesting this course aligns perfectly for Schauffele's current skill set and form.

Greg Ducharme believes Collin Morikawa is primed to end his winless drought at the RBC Heritage, highlighting how the course setup matches Morikawa's elite ball-striking strengths. Morikawa currently leads the PGA Tour in driving accuracy, strokes gained approach, and proximity to the hole—metrics vital to success at Harbour Town Golf Links given the tight corridors and small greens. Additionally, Greg noted the benign putting and short game conditions at this course, which could offset Morikawa's current struggles on and around the greens, positioning him ideally for a long-awaited victory.

Greg Ducharme highlighted concerns around Scottie Scheffler's ball striking heading into the RBC Heritage, despite his favorable history at the course. Last week at the Masters, Scheffler was below the field average in both fairways hit and greens in regulation, indicating struggles with precision in his swing currently. While Greg respected Scheffler's status as the world's top-ranked player and acknowledged his strong track record at this event (winning last year and finishing T11 previously), he expressed caution due to Scheffler's suboptimal form in key areas of his game such as accuracy off the tee and iron precision.
