Tournament advice:"This golf course is famous for playing longer than its 7,000 yards," Throne says. "All the par 3s are long, plus there are a number of holes with forced layups, there are a lot of uphill shots, a lot of risk/reward doglegs and a lot of trees. Get out of the fairway and you usually are in a lot of trouble."

Throne on Throne: "My top assistants and most of my crew were here ahead of me and worked through our extensive renovation. At this stage of my career I'm certainly more of a delegator. I give my assistants a lot of room to make the decisions that come up out on the golf course."
