Golf Club in Overland Park just outside of Kansas City. As the venue name suggests the golf course is a Jack Nicklaus designed layout built in 2001 and measures 7251 yards. The Nationwide Tour money leader in 2009 Michael Sim will play his first event on the Nationwide Tour for two weeks having played last week at the PGA Championship where for the second time this season he made the cut in a major championship. Recent winners Chris Tidland, Justin Bolli, Derek Lamely, Tom Gillis and Alex Prugh and one who hasn’t won this season but is very much overdue, Blake Adams are expected to provide Sim with his toughest opposition.
