============================================

The third edition, won last year by big hitting Cameron Champ, continued a trend as the winner's score has decreased each season since the inaugural edition.

===============================

Fairways that were reduced in size after the 2018 renovation were firm and fast last year and balls were rolling into four inches of Bluegrass/Fescue. Combine playing from gnarly lies and having water in play on 15 of the 18 holes and a new challenge was presented. Blaine has received just over an inch of rain this month so I would expect similar conditions for this edition.

The 6,500 square foot greens give ample recovery space but nobody likes standing over 80 footers all day either. Or navigating how ball are going to jump out of the rough and cross those multiple water penalty areas.

=====================================

Cameron Champ (1/2) 1 1 +5000; +500
