Rocket fueled
Noticed Jason Gore (Hart High of Newhall/Pepperdine) was wearing an Astros hat during the opening rounds of the PGA Tour’s Houston Open. Wasn’t surprising, since Gore recently split with Nike. But it seems there’s quite a story behind the hat. … Continue reading

We have a winner!
Tom Purtzer made a 17-foot birdie putt on the fourth playoff hole, the par-5 18th, to defeat Loren Roberts. It was the longest playoff in AT&T Champions Classic history.
Playoff continues
Tom Purtzer and Loren Roberts both parred the first playoff hole, the par-5 18th, and are headed back to the tee. The players will continue to play No. 18 until a winner is decided.

In the 17 previous AT&T Champions Classics, the Saturday leader/co-leader has gone on to win just six times. The winners were John Brodie (1991), Joe Inman (1998, 2000), Jim Colbert (2001), Gil Morgan (2004) and Tom Kite (2006).
Getting tougher
The field scoring average jumped from a course-record 71.227 strokes Friday to 72.093 Saturday.
Eger to win
David Eger shot a 5-under 67 Saturday on his 55th birthday. He continued his strong play Sunday, going 4 under through 15 holes to move into a share of the lead.
Front-runner
Hale Irwin, the second-round leader, has won 33 of 48 events when he has led or been tied for the lead entering the final round. He was even through 13 holes Sunday to fall into a tie for third, two … Continue reading
