PGA Tour Memorial scoreboard http://espn.go.com/golf/leaderboard?tour=pga
In February Arnie has his tournament at Bay Hill and in late May or this year early June it's Jack's turn at Muifield Village.
Both of the games greatest take great pride in their week's and lean hard on the current games best to show up. So a pretty strong field has congregated in Dublin Ohio including Tiger, Phil, Jordan, Rickie, Matt and 4 Canucks, David Hearn, Graham DeLaet, Nick Taylor and Adam Hadwin.
Apparently Jack walks the course picking up any cigarette butts he finds and you will be hard pressed to find a weed anywhere..
Tiger has won it 5 times, the last in 2012, he's hardly the favourite this year needless to say.
Now imagine Rickie Fowler who played so very well at Royal County Down until a pair of 8's late on Saturday knocked him out of contention. The weather was brutal, wind, rain squalls, cold and players had to be at their most creative playing links style golf in the most demanding conditions...
Now Rickie arrives at Muirfield village where the weather is forecast to be hot, humid this week with rain for Friday and Sunday https://www.google.ca/?gws_rd=ssl#q=weather+for+dublin+ohio and very little wind.
In other words Rickie and those who played the Irish Open are right back to parkland style target golf, on lightning fast greens.. forget the bump and run, knock down 5 irons from 150 yards into a 4 club wind.
These guys are so good, just watch them adapt, just like they did last week in Ireland. Play gets underway at 7.20 ET Thursday, Tiger is 8.15 in the early flight while Phil is 1.16pm ET ..
