Golf Digest Senior Writer Ron Sirak On The British Open And Golf In The Olympics
Ron Sirak is the Senior Writer for Golf Digest and a published author.
Ron joined Ken and Steve to talk about the British Open which begins tomorrow.
Ron started out by talking about the top 4 golfers in the world not going to the Olympics saying "well I don't think it was not wanting to play, but I think Zika is used as an excuse...Brazil is not the same country it was when it was awarded the games, it's incredibly unstable." As for whether or not it's just based on the location Ron said "if the games were in London like last time around or Tokyo like next time around the guys would be there."
When asked about a favorite for the British Open Ron said "something has changed in Dustin Johnson since his 6 month leave of absence he has come back with much more focus than I've ever seen him have...I think he is realizing the window won't be open forever."
