The Western Am is one of the biggest amateur golf tournaments. 3 Gators in final 4 this morning. Jack Turner and Ian Gilligan advance to finals, just teed off. JC Deacon must be proud. Our golf team next year should contend.
The Western Open used to be a big golf event on the PGA tour. It was hosted by the Western Golf Association and played on courses around Chicago. Pros did not get their own caddies but had local caddies. I think that the whole caddy thing was named after Chick Evans. I did not know that the amateur event was still a thing. It has to be one of the oldest tournaments on record.
