The Honors Course hosting a major amateur championship is like a World Series Game 7 being played at Yankee Stadium or the NBA Finals being decided in the Boston Garden.
It’s how the sports gods envisioned it.
The Honors is traditionally ranked among the top 20 golf courses in the United States by every publication worth its train of bunker sand.
It’s a pristine venue filled with charm and harm, a test of golf that decides true greatness while providing humility along the way.
Want an example? Remember, this is the place where the immortal Tiger Woods won an NCAA title while carding a very mortal 8 on the par-4 ninth hole, which measure less than 400 yards.
