I'm going to be out there on Friday and am anxious to see if Fazio did any substantive work in preparing the course for the tournament. I'm sure the pros will say all of the "right" things about the course, especially since they absolutely skewered the work that Rees Jones did at Cog Hill (unfairly in my estimation), but I hasten to add that my criticism of the course stems from its inconsistent architectural presentation, not whether it's tournament worthy. I think it's a perfectly fine place to host a tour event; it's just not nearly as interesting or challenging as Olympia Fields, which was vying for the right to host this tournament. Luke Donald is a member at Conway and has been exceedingly generous to the Evans Scholars program and I think that weighed heavily in the decision to host it at Conway. Also, Conway is located in a much more prosperous area, shall we say, which is probably important to the BMW folks. All in all, it will look good on TV, the pros will slobber all over themselves about what a terrific course it is and they'll probably shoot -18 for the weekend because the course is much easier than Cog Hill, which is probably why they bitched so much.
