Conrad late scratching from the Open

The field is back to 9 with 10 days until Tee-Off in this years Open. Apparently putting food on his family's table is more important than golf with mates. There is just no figuring out some people....

15 days and counting down....

If you have left your campaign preparation late, now might be the time to dust off your weapons...
