North cautious as Western Open tee off follows Open victory
Andy North, the 1978 U S Open champion, arrives at the Western Open amid caution about form and focus. He has barely practiced since June 18, juggling golf outings, a Canadian Open finish, and the approaching birth of his second child. He plans to skip the British Open to be with his wife before August. North notes the field’s strength and the tough Butler National course while reflecting on last year’s near-miss at the Western.
