It’s a bitter sweet week for Team
RSM member Zach Johnson. With it being
the week of The Open, it was time for Zach to say goodbye to the Claret Jug,
after “owning” it since his win in last year’s tournament. However, he IS playing
in this week’s tournament so…he could be the proud owner of the Jug for another
year – fingers crossed! Do you think Zach will bring home the Jug again? If
not, who do you think has the best chance of lifting it? We’ll find out soon.
In the meantime, Zach had a little fun sharing his sad ‘goodbye’ to the Claret
Jug on Twitter. Check out the photos he posted.
Joining Zach in Scotland is
fellow Team RSM member Andy Sullivan, along with past RSM Classic winners Chris
Kirk (2013),
Robert Streb (2014)
and Kevin Kisner (2015).

Back in the states, a few other

Ben Crane (2011),
are playing in the Barbasol Championship in Auburn, AL. Heath tees off at 12:42
p.m., ET from tee No. 10 and Ben starts at

Best of luck to all “our guys” during this week’s tournaments!
