The Florida Open

The Florida Open golf tournament kicks off tomorrow morning, with roughly 144 golfers trying to win their share of $62,000 in a tournament that draws many of Florida's top golfers. The event will run 72 holes, with a cut down to the lowest 35% and ties after 36 holes.

Past winners of the Open include PGA Tour and Senior PGA Tour members Bob Murphy, Gary Koch, Bruce Fleisher, John Huston, Bart Bryant, and Dudley Hart.

Last year's winner Colby Beckstrom won $12,000 for first place by shooting an 8-under 202 over a shortened three rounds of competition at the par-70 Loblolly course in Hobe Sound, Florida.

This year, the event will be held at the Eagle Creek Golf Club in Orlando. The course is a Ron Garl and Howard Swan design that features lots of bunkers, lots of water and some very long holes. From the "tour" tees, the course plays 7,198 yards, although it remains to be seen how long the course will play tomorrow.

And we'll be watching the scores intently. That's because our boy Gregg Edwards tees off at 8:33 AM EST to make a run at that crystal trophy and first-place check.

Good luck brother!
