Message: [QUOTE="Waquoit, post: 5300768, member: 50"] Longtime tournament director Nathan Grube is a miracle worker. Folks may not remember but the PGA dumped the GHO from the main tour. But the new event never made it out of the blocks so they let the GHO back in, only if they would take the worst date on the schedule, the week after the US Open. Back then it was customary for Open winner to stiff any next week commitments. Even big star Rocco Mediate stiffed them after coming in 2nd. Maybe there were others but the only Open winner I remember coming was Ian Baker-Finch. ("Of course I was coming, it never occurred to do otherwise") Now this tournament gets everyone. The Open winner was T14 but doesn't make the cut if they had one. And it doesn't have a cut because Grube put the tournament in position to be an elite "Signature Event". For two years running when it was to be rotated originally. And the Travelers delivered again on all fronts. [/QUOTE]
