Floyd Puzzled by St George Course at British Open
Ray Floyd, favorite for the British Open at Royal St George's, admits the seaside course is a tough test with unseen bunkers and pins. Lee Trevino and David Graham back Floyd for the $50,000 first prize while bookmakers favor Watson and Nicklaus. Floyd notes players peak between 35 and 45 and cites wind and pin placements as key factors. The club added irrigation to prepare for its first Open in 32 years, making the 6,829 yard layout greener and slower.
