Harold Varner III apparently plays well when he’s angry.
A day after getting the bad end of what he felt was an unfair ruling, a fired-up Varner bounced back with an 8-under 63 that moved him into the lead Saturday afternoon at the RBC Heritage.
“I would say I'm really good at putting things aside, but I did not put that aside,” said Varner, whose tee shot at the par-4 sixth hole on Friday was determined by PGA Tour rules official Stephen Cox to be out of bounds by mere inches despite both Varner and PGA Tour Live announcers believing that Varner’s ball had been moved from its initial in-bounds resting place by a man who was helping to identify it.
