WHITE SULPHUR SPRINGS, W.Va. (AP) There was some concern right after historic flooding forced the cancellation of last summer’s Greenbrier Classic that the Old White TPC course in West Virginia wouldn’t even be ready for this year’s PGA Tour event.
Count Bubba Watson among those doubters.
Watson, whose summer home at The Greenbrier resort lost power during the June 23, 2016, storm, saw the destruction on Old White for himself.
Not only was the Greenbrier Classic scheduled for two weeks later an afterthought, there was the daunting task of removing tons of debris and silt and getting the course in playable condition for this year’s tournament that starts July 6.
