PGA Golf: WGC Bridgestone International Preview
The WGC Bridgestone International will be held August 3rd-8th at the Firestone Country Club in Akron, Ohio. All PGA Tour golfers and golf gambling news look forward to this event and many of the European golfers make the special trip to play the event.
Tiger Woods is the defending champion of the World Golf Championships Bridgestone International, winning by four strokes over Padraig Harrington and Robert Allenby. This year’s WGC Bridgestone International will include among others, British Open winner Louis Oosthuizen. Oosthuizen was not slated to play but qualified with his win in the British.
Also coming from across the pond will be Lee Westwood, who has been living at the top of the leader board of late. Westwood continues to run hot, especially in Majors and he will be a great addition to the WGC Bridgestone International.
Other notables coming over from Europe will be: Rory McIlroy, Ernie Els, Ian Poulter and Sergio Garcia. Of the four, Ian Poulter has the best chance to be around on the last day. Rory McIlroy should be over his disappointing finish to the British Open and could also be a challenger.
Defending champ Tiger Woods may have fallen on hard times at the last three majors but Woods has a chance to make his mark in the WLC Bridgestone International. The event sets up well for Woods and he should be in contention on Sunday.
Another player to watch in this event will be KJ Choi. He’s not intimidated playing with Tiger Woods, he actually enjoys playing with Tiger.
