DUBLIN, Ohio – Late Monday afternoon, Adam Long and his caddie were out for an impromptu practice round at Muirfield Village when they were joined by an unexpected guest.
“We get to 14 green and we look up, I had to do kind of a double look,” Long laughed Thursday at the Memorial.
Just off the 14th green, tournament host Jack Nicklaus was waiting in a golf cart. “I just wanted to see somebody play 15, I hadn't seen it played yet,” Nicklaus said.
Muirfield Village underwent a dramatic redesign after last year’s tournament, with the par-5 15th hole being one of the most notable changes Nicklaus made to his signature course.
