The last time ESPN.com teed up its Best Ball Challenge, it was for the U.S. Open, where the winner was, of course, Mother Nature. Yes, Lucas Glover went home with the trophy and the title, but it was the elements that dominated at Bethpage Black, soaking the players, drowning the course and sinking the scores below par at a record rate, at least for the first few rounds.

Sure, you had names like Tiger Woods and Phil Mickelson among the top 10, and Henrik Stenson, Sergio Garcia, Hunter Mahan and Rory McIlroy all are big-time talents who joined them. But if you were one of those people who actually had Glover, or David Duval, or even Ricky Barnes, and rode them to Best Ball glory, I salute you for your unique combination of savvy, psychic powers and willingness to follow the voices in your head. The fact is the rain and wind robbed Bethpage Black of its identity as a U.S. Open venue. That won't happen at Turnberry's Ailsa Course because the only thing that could keep a British Open from feeling like a British Open would be good weather.

But before we cross the pond to see who might gain a few pounds at Turnberry, and I'm not talking about Duval again, here are the basics of our online game. Your job is to put together a foursome of golfers who will combine for the best score each day using "best ball" rules. Basically, each player's scorecard is combined and you get the lowest score of any of your four players on each hole, so if three of your pros bogey a par 5 and the other one holes out his second shot from 260 yards away, you get credit for the ultra-rare double-eagle, also known as an albatross. You have 50 million fantasy bucks to spend on your ideal foursome, and while that's really just a drop in the bailout bucket, it's a reasonable budget for acquiring four strong golfers. Just don't go over your limit, because if you do, it'll ruin your fantasy credit rating and then you won't be able to get a pretend mortgage. MORE
