It is weird, it looks wrong, it feels wrong with no fans, it may just distract me in the stand tomorrow afternoon and Sat.... but watching Jack and Gary hit those opening shots at dawn this morning still sent chills down my spine.
Having had the privilege of being on the grounds for one of these, this is right up there as my favorite event in all of sports. I loved it before I went in 2011.. but being there put it on a whole different level for me. Only those who have been can truly understand.
Looks like a sloppy start, luck of the draw on starting times today may just decide who is in contention on Sunday.. or at the very least make the hill much steeper for those who get the bad draw.
