Held this year at Royal St Georges in England. Last time it was held here Ben Curtis (a rookie in his 1st major) came out of nowhere to win it...that was about 8-9 years ago. Loaded with bunkers and some serious wind issues....this track requires a "ground game". I do not expect low scores by ANYONE! The 1st hole is a biatch and can certainly get the players "on their heels".
