Horse for course: Patrick Cantlay opens with 66 at RBC Heritage

A return to Harbour Town could be just what Patrick Cantlay needed to get back on track.

Coming off a disappointing tie for 39th at the Masters, Cantlay opened with a 5-under 66 Thursday to sit just three shots off the early lead at the RBC Heritage.

It’s what we’ve come to expect from Cantlay, who before last year’s missed cut had notched three consecutive top-7 finishes at Harbour Town, two of which went for T-3s. Only twice in 15 career rounds has he shot over par.

“I think there’s some local knowledge to this place,” he said, “so having those good results in the past definitely helps going forward.
