From AWITP staff:
“This is a great pick. It brings the championship to Kansas and highlights the excellent work of architect Jeff Brauer, a rising star.” – Jay Flemma
“Agreed. Brauer is hotter than a pistol after winning best new course awards for the courses in Minnesota and the great redesign at La Costa,” added Peter Black.
“Brauer’s courses have great architectural echo, they recall the templates and concepts of the Golden Age masters, concluded Rodney Zilla.
