CARNOUSTIE, Scotland -- Andrew "Drew" Wesley Weaver, the Virginia Tech junior and member of the golf team, will look to conquer his second set of links tomorrow on the island of Great Britain for the 136th British Open, the eldest of Golf's Major Championships.

Since his victorious trump over Tim Weaver at Royal Lytham to win the British Amateur Championship in late June, Weaver will tee off in the 11th group with partners Paul Casey and Stepen Ames at 8:20 a.m. local time on the legendary course at Carnoustie with his father by his side; as his caddie.

Weaver, of High Point North Carolina, a marketing management major at Tech also just added the honor of being one of ESPN's "Top 25 American Golfers Under 25" to his Curriculum Vitae.

While varying a tad bit from Weaver's familiar stomping ground of Tech's River course, Carnoustie's storied fairways, and the far more storied roughs and heather, sends fluttering butterflies of intimidation into the stomachs of plenty veteran British Open players. Carnoustie, more commonly referred to as "Car-Nasty," has been a historical site for plenty of memorable Opens. Including the frightening entanglement of Frenchman Jean Van De Velde, who shot a triple bogey on the 18th which cost him the prized silver Claret Jug.

However, perhaps floating in the mind of Weaver will be the story of another American in time, walking the same path Weaver will as he debuts his first British Open on the 1st tee.

In 1953 Ben Hogan, the famous American amateur, had the season of his life, which so far Weaver is seeming to similarize this year.

Hogan won the British Amateur Championship and then was  at Carnoustie to win the British Open a few weeks later. It was a season golf has never forgotten. While Weaver is currently on his own personal grand slam; he was part of the ACC co-champion golf squad, and the winner of the British Amateur, Hokie hopes are high to possibly see history repeat itself when Weaver swings his way into the pages of golf's annals tomorrow morning in his attempt to take the title away from two year in a row winner Tiger Woods. A lofty goal, but Weaver's got historical tradition on his side.
