The PGA TOUR heads to the Annadale Golf Club in Mississippi for the Viking Classic, where Will MacKenzie looks to find the magic that gave him a playoff victory here last season. The Fall Series has had its storylines but none are bigger than Rickie Fowler, who enters the Viking Classic as the hottest player on TOUR in only his third professional start.
Fowler was supposed to be teeing it up in the first stages of the PGA TOUR Qualifying Tournament but, with his second place finish last week, he moved into the top 150 on the money list and earned an exemption to the second stage of q-school. Fowler looks to add on to his money total and get into the top 125 on the money list and earn full playing rights on the 2010 TOUR.
MacKenzie comes into this week much like last season, struggling. A win would make 2009 a success but he will have to fend off hot players like Fowler. Also, David Toms finished second last year and would like to notch his first win of the season as well.
Annandale Golf Club hosts the event and will play to 7,199 yards and a par-72. Jack Nicklaus was the original architect for the course in 1980 and oversaw the remodel in 2006
