The three-time Open champion breaks down the modifications on display this weekend.
More than 300,000 fans will attend The Open at Royal Birkdale, making it a record crowd for golf’s oldest major championship. They’ll need to bring sunscreen and some manners.
Royal Birkdale is not anywhere Marcus Plunkett expected to be. Not when he turned down golf scholarships to attend West Point. Not when he was rising to the rank of captain in the U.S. Army. Not even when he touched a golf club again for the first time nearly in four years.
