The PGA Tour moves to Farmington, PA for the final installment of the 84 Lumber Classic. The 84 Lumber Classic, played in a Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania suburb, is played at the Mystic Rock course at the Nemacolin Woodslands Resort. The course was recently redesigned by golf legend Pete Dye in order to not only lengthen the course, but make many areas more accesible to spectators. The field will feature former world number one Vijay Singh, fan favorite John Daly, and teenage phenomenon Michelle Wie. Wie will be playing in her eleventh international men's event this week, her first at the 84 Lumber Classic. Wie is coming off her worst fnish in a men's event, fifteen over and dead last at the Europea Tour's OMEGA Masters. Wie will hope to make her second cut on a men's tour following her first ever made cut at an Asian Tour event earlier this year. Wie withdrew from the field last year after receiving a sponsor's exemption by 84 Lumber Classic and company founder Joe Hardy due to the length of the course. Mystic Rock will play as one of the longest of the tour's venues this season to help offset the low scoring of years past. The tournament features a total purse of 4.6 million dollars. Last year's champion, Jason Gore, will return to defend his title despite a tough season so far. Gore found his first Tour victory in one of his first starts on the Tour while having his card following his promotion from the Nationwide Tour. Some favorites this week may be Vijay Singh who lost to Tiger Woods on a Monday battle at the TPC of Boston during the Deutsche Bank Championship. The long driving Brett Wetterich is certainly in the mix as his distance will help beat the Rock's massive length.
