Golf: No tears as players say goodbye to Cog Hill

LEMONT, Illinois: (Reuters) - After 20 years there are few tears being shed by the world's best golfers as they say goodbye to Cog Hill Golf and Country Club after an ill-fated re-design that turned a US Open dream into a disaster. The BMW Championship, the third leg of the FedEx Cup playoff which tees off on Thursday, will be the last played on the Dubsdread course as the event moves to Crooked Stick outside Indianapolis next year and Cherry Hills in Denver in 2014.

Although no venue has been finalised for 2013, the tournament is expected to return to the Chicago area but not to Cog Hill.
