Canada
Alex Liaw
I've been doing the open since 2011. This year I had undortunate luck of having some serious muscle dysfunction 2 weeks before the open. My muscles cramped to the point where I was unable to walk and had to go to the emergency room. Through various tests doctors could not explain what it was. It has left me with loss of mobility and strength. Although recovering this year's open will be much different. There will be no competing for score. But instead just to show up and enjoy the community and the energy this community brings. Although bummed out from not being able to compete at any level I would normally compete at I am happy that I can still move even if limited. And be part of something like the open.
