Hello once again to everyone, and welcome to another edition of Pick of the Week, brought to you by Hack Till We Die. This week, the TOUR heads to Memphis for one final tune up before the 2nd major of the year- the US Open at Congressional. Playing the week before a major championship has been hotly contested by many players. Some prefer to take the week off the rest their games before the big challenge ahead, while others try to get a good tune up right before the important week. Each strategy shows moderate success, and it really just does depend on preference. And it's not like none of the top players buck the trend- some liket o play the week before and others don't. This week I'm going to go with an "elite" player of sorts. I'm choosing the experienced Englishman Lee Westwood. Currently at No. 2 in the world, Lee has been in good form lately and would like to get his game ready for next week and try to regain the #1 spot over Luke Donald sometime soon. This week might help him on his way to both of those goals. Lee doesn't play much in the States anymore because he isn't exempt, so it's always a treat to see him play on the PGA TOUR. He is a extremely good ball striker of the ball, and that is demanded at this tournament. Oh and also- he won this tournament in a play-off last year- no big deal or anything. Hopefully he can repeat as a champion and help me tie the year long competition with fellow blogger Bernardo G. Alright, until next time, I will see you all later.
Here is Lee's interview before action gets underway:
