HARRISON, N.Y. — Brad Beecher thought it would be a good idea to get an early sneak peek. He had heard how demanding Westchester County Club’s West Course could be, so rather than fly from Canada on Monday for a first look, he and the player he caddies for, Inbee Park, played a handful of practice rounds last month. Beecher watched as Park got a grasp on how big and bold the course is.
“It’s a golf course that you really need to know prior to teeing it up in the tournament,” Beecher said. “To come here and try and rush around for a couple of days and know it — it’s a course where you need a little bit more preparation.
