The RSM Classic

The 2021 RSM Classic was played at Sea Island Seaside with Taylor Gooch winning with a score of 22 under. Two players that finished in the top five Taylor Gooch and Cameron Smith will not be able to play in the 2022 edition due to signing for LIV series. The 2022 RSM Classic will be played on the same course as the 2021 tournament. The field is not appetising as the highest ranked player playing is Brian Harman which is currently number 26 in the world rankings.

Seamus Power is looking to continue his great form as he is currently 37 under for his last eight competitive rounds. The Irishman has played at Sea Island before as he finished tied fourth in 2021 RSM Classic. Power is looking to continue at the top of 2022/2023 FedEx Cup rankings with a consistent finish this weekend. My opinion is that Seamus Power will win his third PGA Tour event at the 2022 RSM Classic.

Top five contenders

Justin Rose returned to form as he finished tied ninth at the recent 2022 Houston Open. The Englishman has played at Sea Island in 2021 and finished inside the top 15 on tied 12th position. Mackenzie Hughes came second in the 2021 RSM Classic and has played well on the PGA Tour in the past as he held the lead after 54 holes at 2021 U.S. Open. My opinion is that Rose and Hughes will finish inside the top five.

Top ten contenders. Denny McCarthy finished tied 10th at the 2021 RSM Classic. McCarthy is capable to play well on difficult courses as he finished tied seventh at 2022 U.S. Open. Trey Mullinax finished tied fourth at the recent Houston Open. Mullinax will be looking to finish inside the top ten for a second week in a row. My opinion is that both Mullinax and McCarthy will finish inside the top ten.

Hope you enjoy the RSM Classic on the PGA Tour this weekend.
