TOURNAMENT OVERVIEW

NOVEMBER 19-22, 2020

The RSM Classic

Location & Course Information

ST. SIMONS ISLAND, GA. SEA ISLAND RESORT Sea Island’s Seaside Course has nine holes designed by Harry Colt and Charles Alison in 1929 and nine by Joe Lee in 1973, with a Tom Fazio redesign in 1999. The Plantation Course, renovated by Davis Love III and his brother Mark in 2019, co-hosts the first two rounds. Yardage: Seaside, 7,005; par 70; Plantation, 7,060; par 72. Natural features such as marshes and sandy waste areas figure prominently in the Seaside layout. Both come into play on the par-4 13th, which bends between a marsh on the left and a sandy area along with conventional bunkers on the right, with a stunning backdrop behind the green.

2020 Champion

A near hole-out for eagle on the second playoff hole against Kevin Kisner lifted Robert Streb to his second RSM Classic title.

“I couldn’t quite tell how close it was until I was all the way up by the hole, but it’s really nice to sit there and have a 1-foot putt instead of trying to make a 6-, 7-, 8-footer.” — Robert Streb

HOW ROBERT STREB WON

Robert Streb hit his approach within a foot on the second playoff hole to defeat Kevin Kisner, who came from five strokes behind with a final-round 63. Kisner took the lead with a birdie on the 15th before Streb birdied 17 to tie. Streb made an 8-foot par putt to stay alive on the first extra hole.  Streb had only two bogeys all week and went 55 bogey-free holes until the 13th hole of the final round.  Streb ranked T7 in Greens in Regulation percentage and missed only five greens over the last three rounds.

CHECK THIS OUT  Streb became the first multiple winner of The RSM Classic (2014), which started in 2010. Kevin Kisner, who lost in the playoff, was also going for his second title (2015).  This was the sixth playoff at The RSM Classic, and the third in as many seasons.  Streb became the first player to score his first two PGA TOUR victories in the same event since Daniel Berger (2016-17 FedEx St. Jude Classic).  Kisner has finished in the top five four times at The RSM Classic, the most of any player.
