Mayo pointed out Aaron Rai (+330) as a compelling bet for RBC Heritage, highlighting Rai’s impressive high-end tee-to-green ability. Rai led the Masters field in tee-to-green performance in Round 1, endured a brief slump over two rounds, then rebounded convincingly with a +2.3 tee-to-green performance on Sunday. Harbour Town's shorter layout perfectly complements Rai's strengths, and Mayo notes strong event crossover to the Wyndham Championship, a tournament Rai notably won at Sedgefield Country Club last year.

Mayo backed Ryo Hisatsune (-105) over Joe Highsmith, admitting some affection for long-shot Japanese golfers but mainly citing Hisatsune's strong recent play. Hisatsune has two top-five finishes in his last three starts, has gained strokes on approach four straight tournaments, and averaged over three strokes gained per event on the greens across his last three starts. Mayo doesn't believe Hisatsune can outright win against elite competitors but expects his current form combined with Harbour Town’s inclusivity compared to other elevated events will allow him to remain competitive headed into Sunday.

Mayo recommended against backing Corey Conners, pointing to his inflated odds coming off a disappointing final round at the Masters. He argued that Conners is too costly given RBC Heritage often turns into a putting competition—Conners’ most prominent weakness. Considering his emotional Sunday disappointment at Augusta, Conners likely won't rebound effectively at Harbour Town, further diminishing betting value.

Mayo strongly touted Lucas Glover at 100-1 odds, banking on the consistent correlation between success at the Heritage and the Wyndham. Before his Masters struggles, where poor putting (-4.0 strokes in round 1) and chipping (-2.4 strokes in round 2) cost him, Glover delivered impressive finishes (T-8 and T-3). Mayo emphasized Glover's elite iron game was still dialed in and his past victory at Wyndham makes him highly attractive at these long odds.
