The Greenbrier Classic, White Sulphur Springs, West Virginia.
We have a new tournament and venue this week on the PGA Tour, The Greenbrie Classic at White Sulphur Springs. It is played on the Old White course which is one of the oldest courses in the States. There were a number of changes in 2006 to restore the original features to the course. It is quite a short course at 7020 yards with only two par 5s and unusually finishes with a par 3. There may be bad weather on Thursday which could cause some delay. The fairways are wide so although it is an old style course long hitters should be favoured.
