Ben CrenshawBen Crenshaw Hale Irwin is the exception. He just does everything so well.
Ben CrenshawBen Crenshaw This is happening all over the world. It’s not just this golf course. Hopefully, if it stays dry, it will let a few more people in (contention). If it gets wet, though, there’s only a few people where it’s attainable.
