“I played well at the Web.com event. Then I went straight to England and we didn’t have much time, so I had to adjust to being in Europe for the Palmer Cup. Then I got some rest for the Scottish Open and making the cut was great.”

Seth Reeves, a recent Georgia Tech graduate is the No. 27 ranked amateur golfer in the world and he is also in the field and looking forward to the event.

“I’m familiar with the course,” said Reeves. “There is a lot of history on this course. I’ve played here seen the holes and seen the plaques.”

Reeves estimates he has played the course 15-20 times so he will be prepared, but as soon as this is over, it’s off to professional golf.

“I’m looking forward to professional golf, this is my last amateur event,” added Reeves.
