If you thought last week's preview was light, prepare yourself to done on half a rice cake spritzed with olive oil this week because I just spent the past twenty-four hours trucking my family up the east coast and all over Massachusetts to end-up in a house with one TV (that's smaller than my laptop) and no air conditioning. In other words, I don't have much to give. Say what you want about the value of abandoning modern conveniences for the sake of blah blah blah. Go ahead. Say whatever you want because I'm not listening anyway.*
But dammit we have a golf tournament to preview and, even thought it sports a field that only goes three deep with real talent, it deserves our undivided attention for at least the fifteen minutes it's going to take me to bang-out these three paragraphs. I couldn't even find a creative pick in the second tier as it appears that the games of guys like Bill Haas, Gary Wooodland and Harris English have all gone south. It therefore has all the makings of a first time winner which is why we're throwing some love at Justin Thomas and Will Wilcox. Who knows? Maybe we'll get another gift like last week when the three favorites and a local hero made it interesting down the stretch. Yeah, and maybe they're delivering the 60" plasma to this sweat lodge tomorrow morning.
