The Tour comes to Firestone Country Club for the remaining time for the WGC-Bridgestone Invitational.
The authentic match at Firestone was the NEC World Series of Golf which became at first a four-man event, taking every of the 4 foremost championship winners to play inside the occasion. Eventually in 1999 it turned into a WGC event.
The south route became originally designed via Bert Way in 1929 after which re-designed in 1960 by way of Robert Trent Jones. Jones was as soon as the greatest fashion designer, mainly for fundamental championship guides, on Tour. Having grown up playing severa RT Jones designs (he changed into a graduate of close by Cornell University) his publications are very long and pretty extensive open. But, he does strain excellent driving?It just tends to be extra distance biased than accuracy biased.
To my understanding, Firestone ? South is the most effective RT Jones layout left on Tour. Most of the modern Tour publications have extra dogleg that have sharper bends to them. If the difficult is short and the situations are tender, it generally offers an enormous benefit to the long hitters. If the difficult is lengthy and the path is organization, it favors brief, however correct hitters off the tee. With RT Jones designs, it ought to desire longer hitters, yr after yr.
Watch out for a few huge drives here as closing 12 months Rory McIlroy turned into hitting pace rams and mechanically pumping 370 backyard drives. But, this have to in the main come right down to longer technique shot performs and who could make a few mid-duration putts.
