Sky Sports golf pundit Gary Christian reflects on a clinical win for Branden Grace at Hilton Head Island, while Luke Donald's performance can mark a turning point in his PGA Tour career.
There are some that feel the RBC Heritage deserves more of a prime slot on the PGA Tour calendar rather than the week following the Masters, particularly as it is played at one of the more picturesque locations and is a firm favourite among the players.
But I think it's a terrific spot for the tournament on the schedule and the strength of the field every year proves that. And, after after the pressure cooker atmosphere at Augusta National, it's kind of on a gentle simmer at Hilton Head.
Obviously the tournament would attract a few more star names if it wasn't the week after a major, but I think the organisers - and the PGA Tour - will be happy with the turn out. The awareness of golf among the general public is so high after the Masters, and viewers can't wait to tune in and see Hilton Head Island in all its glory.
It was Branden Grace who took the title after a testing four days in blustery conditions on the South Carolina coast, and his final-round 66 was clinical. He played the best on the final day and won the tournament, and that's how it should be.
Branden was the stand-out player from the last five groups, and his mindset was particularly impressive. He played aggressively to get the lead, and once in front, his course-management was superb on the back nine. He birdied 11 and 12 and made a number of sensible, stress-free pars - his only blemish coming at the 17th when he bunkered his tee shot and missed a six-footer for par.
The Harbour Town Golf Links is a tough course when the conditions are firm and fast like we saw, and it's even tougher when you have to chase. But defending a lead by playing cautiously is also easier said than done, so what Branden Grace achieved certainly consolidates his credentials as a world-class golfer.
Luke Donald led after 54 holes on one of his favourite tracks, but he looked a little uncertain at times during his final-round 71 and finished two behind Grace. Maybe that was down to Luke not having been in that situation for some time. When you haven't contended on the PGA Tour for that length of time, it doesn't matter who you are - there's going to be an element of doubt when you're trying to get over the line.
And when your swing is based on rhythm and tempo like Luke's is, it makes it that much more difficult to maintain down the stretch. He didn't hit the ball as well as he could on Sunday, but he hung in there and a tie for second place will do his confidence the world of good.
Luke kept scrambling pars to keep himself in contention, but once Grace was in the clubhouse on nine under, everyone else was effectively playing for second. Luke managed to grind it out despite not being at his best, and that result will go a long way to helping him climb back up the world rankings.
His chipping and putting were in good order, and he will take a lot of positives out of the week. There's nothing like contending for titles on the PGA Tour, and Luke will be better prepared for next time he's right in the mix. The challenge for him now is to keep that momentum going over the next few weeks, and this could be a big turning point in his career.
Bryson DeChambeau finished tied for fourth in his first tournament as a professional having been the leading amateur at the Masters, and I believe this kid is the real deal. He plays with a huge amount of confidence, and he has the chance to do something really special.
And his impact on the game could be significant as well. We've not seen many like him before in terms of his scientific approach to golf, and it has certainly attracted a lot of attention. Having all of your irons the same length is something new in the professional game, and it might not be long before we see others exploring that set-up.
Bryson is fascinating to listen to when he talks about the science and mechanics of his game, and the way he conducts himself is refreshing. He has a huge belief in his methods and his ability, and he clearly feels it's only a matter of time before he is one of the leading players on the PGA Tour.
He pocketed $260,000 for finishing fourth, and retaining his card for next season is a mere formality. I truly think he can win this year and lock up his playing rights in one go! He has the full array of tools, and he appears to be more mentally prepared for success than most rookies.
Grace, Donald and DeChambeau are all in action again this week as we head to San Antonio for the Valero Texas Open, and the TPC San Antonio can be a brutally difficult golf course. When the wind gets up there, it's one of the toughest courses on the PGA Tour.
It's not as tight as Hilton Head but, unlike most courses in the United States, there's a lot of trouble to be found if you miss the fairways. There's scrubland, thick bushes and plenty of trees on both sides, as well as thicker rough than the players are normally used to.
At just under 7,500 yards long, it's also one of the longer courses on Tour, and if the wind starts gusting at 20mph - which is highly likely - it's a really tough test. I played it twice and it was just too much for me.
It has been softened a little as a lot of players found it too difficult when it first appeared on the schedule, but it is still a supreme test of ability. Having said that, it is a great mix, with a couple of short par-threes and a few par-fours that can be attacked.
Accuracy off the tee is going to be a huge advantage this week, and with the course being so long, we'll see a lot more drivers hit than at Hilton Head. But if you're going into the greens from the three-inch rough too often, it will be very difficult to be competitive.
