From Nick Borrman:
I'll start this week's article with a quick reminder. When looking at last year's results, take them with a BIG asterisk as the luck of the tee time draw had the biggest effect on a tournament result that we have seen in a long, long time.'
Bad weather affected both the first and second rounds and the same wave of players got the worst of it.' If someone you like this week missed the cut last year, don't sweat it.
