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.
