• The Crosswater Club at Sunriver Resort is the site of this week's JELD-WEN Tradition. In its initial playing last year, the 7,436-yard course proved to be a tough one, ranking seventh on the Tour in difficulty and playing to a stroke average of 72.857.

• You'd like to have a good lead heading into the final two holes at the Crosswater Club this weekend with the 17th and 18th holes playing among the toughest on Tour. The par-3 17th was the 27th most difficult hole on Tour last year with a stroke average of 3.340 and the par-4 finishing hole was the 31st most difficult playing to a stroke average of 4.317

• Joey Sindelar leads the Champions Tour in Greens In Regulation by a wide margin (77.0 percent to 73.1percent) over John Cook, but Cook is well ahead of Sindelar on the Money List, standing sixth to Sindelar's 19th. Why? Putting. Cook is 12th on the Champions Tour with the flat stick while Sindelar is 67th out of 82 ranked players.

• Three players -- Jay Haas, Bruce Vaughan and Eduardo Romero -- will each be looking to win their second major championship of the season this week. The last player to win two in the same year was Tom Watson, who claimed the 2003 Senior British Open and the JELD-WEN Tradition.
