This week marks the 29th event of the 2013-14 PGA Tour season, as the Tour heads to Jack's Place for the Memorial Tournament. A field of 120 players will tee it up this week at Muirfield Village Golf Club, where several of the game's best will look to pick up some momentum with the U.S. Open on the horizon.

Fresh off their wins on opposite sides of the globe, Adam Scott and Rory McIlroy will play together for the first two rounds of the Memorial Tournament .

Scott won at Colonial in his first start as the top-ranked player in the world, while McIlroy rallied from a seven-shot deficit to claim the BMW PGA Championship in England. They'll tee off at 1:16 p.m. ET Thursday alongside Jason Day , who is making his return to competition after injuring his left thumb. Day won the WGC-Accenture Match Play Championship in February but has made only one start since then, tying for 20th at the Masters.

Matt Kuchar will begin defense of his title alongside two former Memorial winners in Justin Rose and Steve Stricker . Rose, making his final start before the U.S. Open, won at Muirfield Village in 2010, while Stricker captured the title in 2011. The trio will tee off at 8:26 a.m. ET in the opening round.

Still in search of his first top-10 finish on the PGA Tour this season, Phil Mickelson will play the first two rounds with Jordan Spieth - who sits one spot ahead of him in the world rankings - and Bill Haas . Here are some of the groups to keep an eye on early in the week in Columbus:

Nice pics and videos @CarlSpackler and @golfcarte ! Thanks for posting those.

Apparently this is one of the best conditioned courses on tour...according to Keegan Bradley...

I would agree. I swear they have a crew working overnight to comb every blade of grass straight. Jack is a true gentleman and does everything top notch. When wearing our volunteer shirts, we are representing the tournament and are not allowed to drink or use foul language, etc. I feel honored to represent this event and hope to do it for many years to come. ...or at least until I move south to escape cold Ohio winters. ;-)

Here is a panoramic of #9 that I tried to post yesterday. I had to chop it a bit to get it under the file size limit.

I caught Stuey swinging on #9. It was fun to watch the pros pop an easy 3w or long iron into the fairway then an iron into the green while a majority of the amateurs took 2-3 shots to put it in the water. I love the sound of the ball off the face of a pros club.

What's with his knee/leg? I dont have audio at work.

Seems like it's aggravated. Appears to be more of an issue when swinging the driver, quite a grimacing reaction from him

    • Oh I'm dumb, I just noticed I did the MyStrategy from the wrong tee box. I don't think it changes anything, though. I'll play it as a three shot hole and I still don't really want to miss right (guy I played with on Sunday never found his ball he hit just over the trees right). I think the trees left are considered part of the environmentally sensitive area because it's part of the drainage area for the course. I actually like this hole a lot. I'll try to remember to take a picture next time. I probably overestimated the wind speed. We had sustained winds of like 12-15mph with gusts up to 25mph. The wind is actually forecast to be WNW on Saturday instead of WSW like was when I played on Sunday so if I play this hole again the wind will be pushing towards that bunker. Similar speeds, though. Wind is always a factor at this course because there's really nothing blocking it. I'm definitely going to have to pay attention to it, especially with the wind. I hit a handful of short iron approaches a lot farther than I thought I would on Sunday. As of right now the only thing I know for sure is I'm starting on Ridge. I don't know if the back 9 will be played on Meadow or Lake.
    • Day 113: 4/18/24 Stack training progress check after finishing my 6th program, and 4th Full Speed Spectrum Training session, which is recommended for my next program.     Gained 1 mph with driver, 195 g, 95g. Maintained with 280 g , and gained 2 with 145 g. Lost 1 mph on both lead and trail arm. Felt like I lost distance in my last round…
    • Please forgive the sweaty shirt.  Just got off the treadmill and decided to do my Evolvr drill.  
    • I'd agree that 4w seems like the right play here. I'm not a course designer or anything but that hole looks like it could be so much more fun if everyone played from those front 2 tee boxes that are right outside your shot cone and they cut down most of the trees down that left side of the fairway. That would give risk reward to long hitters who want to try and push it up to that left fairway, allow more players to reach that second fairway, and still allowing it to be perfectly playable for someone who only hits driver like 150yds off the tee.   Yeah it looks like 4iron aimed at that inside edge of the right bunker is the play there, especially if you don't expect a 20mph tailwind again. If it is down wind again, 5iron would be just fine too, it'd still get you inside 150yds for your approach.  Keep in mind tee marker locations too, you measured that one from the back so if those tee markers are moved all the way towards the front of that box then 5 iron is probably best just to be sure that right bunker is never in play. 
    • Day 1: worked on my drill for my arms.
