I am in Castle Pines in Denver Colorado for the International. I flew from Melbourne and arrived on Monday night after the usual 20 plus hours travel time. The International is a modified stableford event. 5 points for an eagle, 2 for a birdie, 0 for a par, -1 for a bogey and -3 points for a double or worse. I love this event beacuse it encourages aggressive positive play, with lots of biries. 18 pars would be 0 points, whereas 6 birdies, 6 bogeys and 6 pars would total 6 points. So even though two players may have the same stroke score, the player who makes birdies and bogeys will come out ahead on points. This is Stuart Appleby's 10th straight International. His best finish has been second behind Phil Mickleson in 1997. So this year we are looking for a win, which would be a great lead in to the PGA next week.
