The British Open...the oldest major in the mix. Held this year at Turnberry-Ailsa course. Defending Champ is HARPA (who has not been playing that well as of late). Turnberry plays to right around 7200 yards and is considered the easiest of the Open "circuit". They have made some changes for this year though and it could prove to be more difficult than usual. The winner will not only have to be making the shots but will also need to have his mental game sharp as well. This is a "thinking man's" course.

Old school for the Open:
The US Bank Championship
Being held at Brown Deer Park in Wisconsin. Par 70 ...and only 6700+ yards long. GREAT finishing hole that this tournament HAS been decided on. Defending Champ is JOHRI...but he's across the pond at the Open. Winner's share = 720K.
