C.T. Pan is back in the RBC Heritage, and he's eager to make up for lost time. The Taiwanese professional golfer had to miss the tournament last year due to the COVID-19 pandemic, but he's now ready to put that behind him and take on the Harbour Town Golf Links course in Hilton Head Island, South Carolina. Pan has had a mixed year so far, with seven missed cuts in his first nine events. But he also had a strong finish at the Valero Texas Open, where he finished tied for ninth after shooting a final-round 67.Pan says that he is now feeling confident and ready to compete at the RBC Heritage.
The Harbour Town Golf Links course is known for its tight fairways and small, well-protected greens. But Pan feels that his game is well-suited to the course. He has a strong short game, which will come in handy on the greens, and he's been working on his accuracy off the tee to avoid the numerous hazards around the course. Pan has played at the RBC Heritage twice before, in 2017 and 2018. In his first appearance, he finished tied for 23rd, and in his second, he finished tied for 23rd again. While he's yet to crack the top 20 at this event, he's confident that this year could be different. Pan has been working hard on his game and says that he's feeling much better about his chances than he did earlier in the year."I'm hitting it well, and I'm putting well," he said in an interview with Golf Channel. "I just need to trust myself and go out there and play my game." Pan is also excited to be back on the PGA Tour after missing the cut at the Masters. He says that he's learned a lot from that experience and is ready to apply those lessons at the RBC Heritage.
"I learned that I need to be patient and trust my game," he said. "I had a good week of practice, and I'm feeling good about where my game is at." Pan is also planning to use his experience to help other golfers who are struggling on the tour. He recently started a mentorship program with fellow Taiwanese golfer Yu Chun-an, and he's hoping to expand it to include other Asian players as well. "I want to help young golfers and give back to the game," he said. "I know how hard it can be to make it on the tour, and I want to be someone who can help these players find their way." Pan may not be the favorite to win the RBC Heritage, but he's definitely one to watch. With his experience and his newfound confidence, he could be a dark horse who surprises everyone and takes the trophy.
