HILTON HEAD ISLAND, S.C. () — For Bluffton resident Brian Campbell, the world is moving very fast right now.

He’s living his dream of playing on the PGA Tour. Last week, he lived every golfer’s dream of playing in the Masters at Augusta National Golf Club.

This week, he is playing closer to home.

Campbell is originally from Irvine, Cal. and played collegiately at the University of Illinois. He moved to the Bluffton area to be closer to his girlfriend. His home golf course is Colleton River

Campbell has experienced so many firsts this year and this week is no different. This is the first time he will play the course at Harbour Town Golf Links.

As of Tuesday, at noon, he had not even played a practice round on the course. Harbour Town is a shorter course than Augusta National, which could help Campbell.

He ranks last on the tour in distance of the tee. According to the PGA Tour website, he has hit 50 drives for an average of 275.5.

“Some say the Masters Week is a bomber’s paradise, and to a certain degree it is some holes,” Campbell said. “I mean, the par-5s especially, you can just eat those up if you got some distance. But the rest of the course is just all positioning and it’s all a second-shot course. So, you still need to be on with your irons.

He continued, “This week is more of the same. You got to be in the right positions off the fairways. So, getting off the tee is paramount. Then just like last week, you got to really be precise with your irons because the greens are so small. So that’s something I’m looking forward to seeing when I get out there.”

In the first round, Campbell will tee off at 8:10 a.m. He is paired with Sami Valimaki.

In the second round, he’ll start at 11:20 a.m.
