Greenbrier Classic back after flooding; Lefty's fresh start
The Old White TPC at the Greenbrier Resort was devastated by record flooding a year ago in West Virginia that left tournament officials no choice but to cancel the tournament.
The flooding was so severe that Bubba Watson, who has a summer home at The Greenbrier and lost power during the flooding, wasn't sure workers would be able to get the golf course ready for this year's tournament.
The strongest field of the week is at the Dubai Duty Free Irish Open, where Rory McIlroy is the host and defending champion.
The PGA Tour is sure to celebrate the revival of the Old White TPC because of its recovery from the devastating floods.
The most famous of all was the first one — Stuart Appleby — who rolled in a birdie putt on the last hole for a 59 .
[...] it was only the fifth 59 in PGA Tour history.
[...] Jim Furyk has shot a 59 and a 58, and Justin Thomas shot a 59.
The continental stretch of France, Ireland, Scotland and The Open Championship at Royal Birkdale is the best part of the European Tour schedule.
