Michigan Golf Live (mgl) - the state's leading golf radio program -- provides special previews of the upcoming US Open Championship at Pinehurst and the 2005 Buick Open during this Saturday's broadcast from Manistee National Golf & Resort.

Pinehurst historian Tom Stewart will help set the scene for the national championship, which will be contested on the famous Pinehurst #2 course. The Donald Ross gem last played host to the US Open in 1999, when Payne Stewart captured the title in memorable fashion.

The 2005 Buick Open will feature one of the strongest fields on the PGA Tour when the tournament returns to Warwick Hills in late July. The top two players in the world -- Vijay Singh and Tiger Woods -- declared their intention to compete in Grand Blanc, as have numerous other top players like John Daly and Kenny Perry.

“For golf fans who enjoy seeing the world's best players compete, the next few weeks are going to be tremendously exciting,” says MGL Executive Producer Bill Hobson. “Many Michigan golfers have gained firsthand knowledge of what it's like to tackle green complexes divised by Donald Ross because his work is found in many corners of our state. The US Open promises to be compelling viewing. And our friends at the Buick Open are pumped as well at the prospect of early commitments from the gam's top players. Many of those we'll watch at Pinehurst will also be visiting Warwick Hills later this summer."
