Stewart Cink – Student of Dr Mo, defends Open Championship title

Glad I arrived a few days early to St Andrews, the hardest part about any major for all players is getting to Thursday’s first round without wearing yourself out Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday with too much practice and worry.   Stewart, Lucas & Zach are among a field of 156 players (147 professionals and nine amateurs).
