CONMEBOL Made Brazil Host Of 2021 Copa America But Brazil Says It Isn’t Official Yet

Brazil came to the rescue of CONMEBOL when the federation was unable to choose a suitable location for the 2021 Copa America competition. The event was originally scheduled to be hosted by Columbia and Argentina but both nations withdrew their names from hosts of the competition.

Ocean Course Is The Toughest Challenge In The PGA Championship

The Ocean Course at Kiawah Island is adding to the thrill and enthusiasm of the PGA Championship being played at the longest course – 7,876 yards. But it isn’t the daunting size of the course that is challenging the golfers. They face the toughest challenge from the wind blowing from the Atlantic Ocean.

Let’s take a round of the course….

The Ocean Course was designed by the Atlantic Ocean in Kiawah Island by late Pete Dye approximately 30 years back. And here he kept the fairways raised to the dunes on the advice of his beloved wife, Alice. She wanted the dunes to give way to the wind off the Atlantic Ocean.

But little did the architect know that the design will create challenges for golfers. On the one hand, the daunting size of the course will batter the players and on the other hand, the high wind blowing off the ocean will make it difficult for them to tee off.

Let’s see what golfers have to say about this beautiful course….
