There was some exciting news
in the world of golf earlier this week. The R&A announced that golf's
oldest championship, “The Open,” will return to the home of golf at St. Andrews
in 2021 for the 150th edition of the championship. Golf Channel provided additional information about the
tournament and gave a shout-out to Team RSM Member Zach Johnson!
See an excerpt below:
“The
tournament will be held July 15-18, 2021. It will mark the first Open at St.
Andrews since 2015, when Zach Johnson defeated Louis Oosthuizen and Marc
Leishman in a playoff to win his second career major and first claret jug.
Past
Open champions at St. Andrews include Bobby Jones (1927), Sam Snead (1946),
Jack Nicklaus (1970, 1978), Seve Ballesteros (1984), Nick Faldo (1990) and
Tiger Woods (2000, 2005).”
This week in tournament news,
the action is coming from the sunny Pacific Palisades in California, where the
Genesis Open is in full swing. While members of Team RSM are
not playing this week, we do have a few familiar faces out on the course. Past
RSM Classic winners Austin Cook
(2017) and Robert Streb
(2014) are playing, and we wish them both the best of luck! Below are their tee
times for Thurs., Feb. 15:
