PGA Championship

[rich76]

Whistling Straits a Pete Dye masterpiece along Lake Michigan is the scene of this years PGA Championship. A prettier place you'll not find. It'll play at a tad over 7500 yards with 4 par 5's (all but one of them right at or near 600 yds). If you want to see just how beautiful this place is go here http://www.pga.com/pgachampionship/2...x.cfm?holeId=1.
Defending champion is YANYE (you might remember him TAKING it from Woods last year with a chip in on 16 or17 and an amazing hybrid to 18 for a birdie) . Last time it was played here was in 2004 and SINGH won it then. IMHO this track will favor the bombers...we shall see. There is trouble on most every single approach shot with half the holes cuddled up to the Lake.
Can't find the number but my guess is that the winner's share should be right around 1.4 mil.
