First just a reminder the poll question above this post is ' Should Corey Pavin select Tiger for his Ryder Cup team " Please go up and vote yes or no, thankyou..
"It's a jacked up links course, it's got some length and some teeth to it. It's got a bit of Kingsbarns in there and a bit of Ballybunion and Portrush, everything all rolled into one.Amazing that this course is man made because it looks like it's been here since the beginning of time"
So says a man who should know, Irishman Graeme McDowell, your US Open champ who was born and raised in Portrush, and he is talking about the site of this weeks PGA Championsship, Whistling Straights, hard by the shores of Lake Michigan in Kohler Wisc.
Here's where everyone is this week. ( Thanks to AP, PGATour.com EuropeanTour.com for research)
