Here are GolfChannel.com’s Power Rankings, the top 10 favorites for the Heritage:
2011 Power Rankings: Week 16
|
| RANK | NAME | COMMENTS |
| 1 | Luke Donald
| Confidence is at an all-time high with his big win at the WGC-Match Play and three subsequent top-10s that followed, including T-4 at Augusta. |
| | Jim Furyk
| |
A somewhat slow start to his 2011 season, Furyk will hope the good vibes of being defending champion at Hilton Head we get him back on track. |
|
| | Matt Kuchar | |
Six top-10s already in 2011- in just nine starts - Kuchar seems destine to at some point don the tartan jacket given to the winner at the Heritage.
|
|
| | Jason Day
| |
After a great showing at Augusta National (T-2), the Australian hopes to keep the momentum going in Hilton Head.
|
|
| | Aaron Baddeley
| |
Hard to ignore five straight top-25s in this event, including his win in 2006 and a runner-up finish in 2008. And already a winner on Tour this season.
|
|
| | Steve Marino
| |
Still looking for his first-ever PGA Tour victory, Marino had a solid showing in his only appearance in this event in ’09 - T-13. Has two seconds and fourth this year on Tour.
|
|
| | Brandt Snedeker
| |
| Feast or famine this year for Snedeker - four top-10s along with fours missed cuts in his 10 PGA Tour starts.o. |
|
| | Rickie Fowler
| |
Finished T-8 in the 2010 edition of the Heritage, but hasn’t had much consistency thus far in ’11. Currently 50th on the PGA Tour money list.
|
|
| | Bo Van Pelt
| |
Bo knows Hilton Head. Well, somewhat, coming on the heels of his T-3 last season. Solid showing at Augusta was followed up by a poor showing in Texas.
|
|
| | Ricky Barnes
| |
Made some noise early at the Masters, before a third-round 75 derailed his attempts. Good vibes here in Hilton Head, however, with a T-5 last year.
