Reno-Tahoe Open

This week the US PGA Tour has two events taking place: 1) The Bridgestone Invitational, and 2) The Reno-Tahoe Open.  This post is for the Reno-Tahoe Open, which is taking place in between Reno, Nevada and Tahoe, California at the Jack Nicklaus-designed Montreux Golf Club (a course that I scouted and the company did work on).  The event is a modified Stableford format.
