Poston, who won at Nicklaus\u2019 course earlier this year at The Memorial, praised The Cliffs at Walnut Cove to the hilt.<\/p>\n<p>Poston shared how Nicklaus\u2019 design should be gettable this week.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt\u2019s great. I mean, after Memorial I\u2019m a big fan of Nicklaus designs, so I think it\u2019s a great track,\u201c Poston said. <\/p>\n<p>\u201cI think it\u2019ll be pretty gettable this week if I were to guess. But you still have to hit really good golf shots and make some putts.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI think it\u2019s still a great test.\u201c<\/p>\n<p>Jacob Bridgeman is a huge fan of The Cliffs at Walnut Cove<\/p>\n<p>Jacob Bridgeman echoed a similar sentiment to Poston when speaking to reporters in North Carolina on Wednesday.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cYeah, I think what they\u2019re known for is the best hospitality, that southern feel,\u201c he said.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThey\u2019re going to take care of everybody. I think all the courses that they have, they have seven, they\u2019re going to be in great shape. <\/p>\n<p>\u201cReally pretty views, a bunch of very nice homes, and just the people around should have a pretty good support system in the community.\u201c<\/p>\n<p>It will be fascinating to watch the players in action this week. Biltmore Championship Asheville is a brand new event, so there will be no advantage for any player.<\/p>\n<p>It really is anyone\u2019s tournament, as they say.<\/p>\n<p>Join Our Newsletter<\/p>\n<p>Receive exclusive football transfer news and updates twice a week to your mailbox<\/p>\n<p>    <a class=\"fw\" href=\"https:\/\/www.google.com\/preferences\/source?q=hitc.com\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener noreferrer\"> <img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"28\" height=\"28\" src=\"https:\/\/www.hitc.com\/wp-content\/themes\/grv-media\/img\/google-discover.svg\" alt=\"\"\/> Add to Preferred Sources <\/a>  <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Follow us on Google Discover The Cliffs at Walnut Cove plays host to the Biltmore Championship Asheville this&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":773798,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[39],"tags":[255216,5904,16202,8693,101,56,54,55],"class_list":["post-773797","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-golf","tag-biltmore-championship-asheville","tag-golf","tag-jack-nicklaus","tag-pga-tour","tag-sports","tag-uk","tag-united-kingdom","tag-unitedkingdom"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/773797","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=773797"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/773797\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/773798"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=773797"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=773797"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=773797"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
