Busy August upcoming for Weaver

Virginia Tech golfer Drew Weaver will have an eventful month of August, after returning to the States from his appearance last month in the British Open. The rising junior will play in the Cardinal Amateur August 9-12 at the Pete Dye-designed Cardinal Golf and Country Club in Greensboro, N.C.

The Cardinal will be Weaver's prep for the 2007 U.S. Amateur Championship, to be played at the Olympic Club in San Francisco August 20-26. Weaver finished 17th at the U.S. Junior Amateur at the Olympic Club in 2004.

Weaver gained a four-year exemption into the U.S. Amateur with his win at the 2007 British Amateur at Royal Lytham & St. Annes in June. The victory also gives Weaver a berth in the 2008 Masters.
