Matt Kuchar is in the field of the RBC Heritage, desiring to compensate for his Masters loss by scoring better than the others at the tournament about to go underway, from April 12 to 15, 2012.
The 33-year-old American professional golf player played well at the Masters, the first major of the year. However, he was two strokes behind the leading position and finished tied for the third place.
He scored 8-under 280 and scored consistently at the Augusta National Golf Club in Augusta, Georgia. Till the third day, he was confident that he will win the Masters Tournament title.

There are ample chances for the American to impress the spectators at the Harbour Town Golf Links in Hilton Head, South Carolina.
The purse of the event is $5.7 million, out of which the winner will earn $1,026,000 and additional 500 FedEx Cup points.
