"To play two links courses in succession just might too much for some players."

I've been pondering the quote of Johan Edfors all day when today's Vardon's suggest that links golf is not something their precious swings can handle for more than a week at a time.

From Bernie McGuire's report on Loch Lomond losing the Scottish Open to an unnamed links course in 2011 or 2012.

But switching the event may not suit everyone. Swede Johan Edfors, winner at Loch Lomond in 2006, said: "To play two links courses in succession just might too much for some players.

"The Open is a hard enough week as it is, given the tough conditions you're likely get."
