  • News Release
    NEWS RELEASE For Release: Monday, August 16, 2004 Ticket Info: www.saschampionship.com or 1-800-531-7PGA (7742) Contact: Chris Madigan, [email protected] or (203) 352-6325 TOM KITE COMMITS TO SAS CHAMPIONSHIP PRESENTED BY FORBES CARY, N.C. – Tournament officials for the SAS Championship presented by Forbes announced today that 1992 U.S. Open winner Tom Kite intends to play in the fourth annual SAS Championship. The SAS Championship, an official event on the Champions Tour, returns to Prestonwood Country Club, September 20-26. Kite, a 19-time PGA TOUR winner, has seven Champions Tour victories in his four years on Tour. His most recent win came eight days ago at the 3M Championship when he sank three birdies in the last seven holes to win by one stroke over Craig Stadler, also committed to the SAS Championship field. Kite has seven other top-10 finishes this year. His victory at the 3M Championship ended a winless streak dating back to October 2002 and spanning 47 tournaments where he finished in second place six times. One of those second place finishes was last year’s SAS Championship. Kite recorded a career best single-round score of 61 at Prestonwood Country Club during Sunday’s final round, vaulting him from 34th place into a second place finish behind D.A. Weibring. “Tom made an incredible run at last year’s title, posting a score early, creating the stage for an incredibly dramatic finish,” said Jeff Kleiber, tournament director. “He’s one of the best golfers that’s ever played the game.

  • QUINN's BLOG on the PGA Website, Click on the First
    QUINN’S BLOG on the PGA website, click on The First Tee Thursday, Sept. 29th, 2011 When I first arrived, The First Tee hosted a breakfast with Curtis Strange and Jeff Sluman. They talked about what great opportunities The First Tee gives to young men and women. I can’t agree more, as I am one of the fortunate young men getting a chance to be a PGA TOUR Course Reporter at the SAS Champions Tour event in Cary, NC. After breakfast, we then went to the Media Center and I received my media badge and was transformed into a Course Reporter. The credentials of the media badge allowed me to go behind the ropes, in the big semi-trailers and talk directly to the golfers. The first stop along the way was in the Training Facility where I met with Hank Haney. I asked him what his craziest teaching experience was, and as you probably guessed, he replied, “That would be Charles Barkley”. For all the years I have attended professional golf tournaments, I always wondered what was in those big semi-trailers. I used to imagine that they were places for the players to sleep. I was so wrong. The first trailer was club repair. It contained all the equipment, machines and supplies to repair players clubs on demand. From replacing a grip to changing a shaft to replacing a club head, it is all right there on site for the Champions Tour players. Mark Brooks was in the trailer working on his own clubs, and a little later, Ben Crenshaw drove up in his cart and needed a couple clubs re-gripped before tomorrow’s big event.
