Kiawah Stands Test of Time
The 2007 Senior PGA Championship is being played this year at Kiawah Island resort, location of the famed “War on the Shore” Ryder Cup matches of 1991. During those Ryder Cup matches, the course was the main attraction because it’s an extremely difficult course under the best of conditions. And it still plays difficult, but the seniors are getting to play it with tees up a little further than they were in ‘91.
After the third round, Eduardo Romero is leading Nick Price and Denis Watson two shots, but his lead should have been 4, except he bogyed 17 and 18 coming in, and let Price and Watson back in the tournament. And is it me, or has Ben Crenshaw not aged particularly well? He looks 70 already and I know he’s nowhere near that age. On the other end of the spectrum is Joe Ozaki and he doesn’t look a day over 40.
Watch out for Brad Bryant tomorrow because he’s on a hot streak right now and when he’s on, he’s unbeatable. I’d like to see Price win his first Champions Tour even, but he has to figure out how to win all over again.
