CONTROVERSIAL Start To The Big Easy Open
Jefferson previews the Big Easy Open, sharing his thoughts on the course's challenging layout and demanding conditions. The course is described as having huge landing strips called teapads, harder holes than expected, and gaps that are not yet refined. Birdies are scarce, requiring precise throws to complete par. Jefferson believes that great shots should earn birdies, rather than needing a 70-footer for a successful shot. He also comments on the course's physical demands, including long distances and tiring footing. Overall, the Big Easy Open is an epic and long course that requires mental toughness as much as physical skill. With high expectations and low scores possible, it will be interesting to see how players perform in this demanding tournament.
