00:00and we'll be right back with more. Brady as you usually like

00:05to do tell me a little bit about bowling brook where live

00:08has been before of course to shambo one here last year they

00:12played here the last couple of years tell me a little bit

00:14about this course about 30 miles to South of Chicago.

00:18Well it's not surprising that the shambo is your defending

00:22champion as far as this golf course goes because I think

00:25this is absolutely a bomber's paradise. This was built you

00:29know like you say 3040 minutes out of Chicago and you know a

00:33common theme during those days was met let's make a link style

00:37design. Well that just meant you know putting some mounting

00:40in some contours in the fairways and throwing some

00:43native grasses around to kind of give it a little bit of a

00:46European look but the truth is these are very wide fairways

00:50without much rough. It's a short golf course and guys like

00:54the shambo and the bombers can absolutely overpower this place

00:58I talked to some people that live in the Chicago area and

01:02are very surprised that this is even you know being used as a

01:06professional tour event type course they didn't feel it was

01:09really up to par as far as that goes and that the guys would

01:13just tear this place apart. So I think that will continue

01:17what we'll see the bombers flourish here. Like I say the

01:20fairways are why you've got a little bit underlation the

01:23greens are pretty big and flat vent grass screens and it's

01:277100 yards a par 72. I think these guys will turn this into

01:32a birdie fest. There's a couple of par fives where guys are

01:35going to be looking at Eagles couple of par fours that are

01:38drivable. So it is a little surprising to hear that you

01:43know Chicago is such an incredible area for golf courses

01:46and some of these guys were very surprised that they chose this

01:49track of everything that was possibly available to use for a

01:53live event. Well sounds like all like you say all these guys

01:57who are fighting to stay in all of these positions getting the

02:00top 25 etc. They're going to have to rack them up get the

02:05birdies flowing this week in Chicago if they're hoping to

02:08stick around.
