This weekend is the starting of one of the most exiting majors of the year, The Players. TPC Sawgrass is one of the most changeling and memorable courses ever built. The course is located in Ponte Verde Beach, FL and is home of the players championship annual. The defending champion Matt Kuchar Lead by only 2 shots going into the last hole and ended up making par to secure his name along the top in golf. TPC is most famous for its famous 17th par 3, the island green. Many courses around the country have tried to mimic this hole but Saw grass was the original. The hols is only a simple wedge away but with the threat of water on all sides and a small pot bunker in front the margin for error is very little. Its a very difficult hole as it is but throw in the atmosphere of a major championship in the atmosphere and millions of people watching you while you have a one shot lead, can be more than overwhelming. Many people before have folded under the pressure of this hole but people have also strives for this such as Sergio Garcia and Tiger woods who both left their iconic legacy in this course and this hole. Who will win this weekend? That guess is up to anyone and will be who can make the least mistakes at this course, that what it boils down to every year.
