We will also play on Bermuda, which is not what we are used to but it is the reality of playing competitive golf at an elite level. The contrasting weather types and difference in playing conditions that you see across the US”

“I believe we are really well prepared for this test,” he continued. “This is a new event for us and we will have to adjust quickly to the conditions as the level of play will be high I am sure. These are the kinds of tournaments that our guys come to Washington to play in, so it offers us a great chance to see how we stack up with some of the best teams in the nation.”
