Two Genuine Class Acts in Golf's Winner's Circle
We couldn't be more delighted at the results of this weekend's professional golf tournaments on the PGA and Champions Tours, respectively. Two of the classiest gentlemen around took silver home this weekend.
In only his third time out on the Senior Tour, our friend Loren Roberts won his first major championship, The Tradition. He came from behind on Sunday--including birdies on the final two holes--to force a playoff with Dana Quigley. Loren went on to win the championship on the second playoff hole.

If you like to root for good guys on the Tour, then Loren Roberts should be a focus of your attention. It's a cliché, but Loren really is the genuine article. He's a class act through and through. Congratulations, Loren, from all your friends at Heritage.

On the PGA Tour, our pal Brad Faxon won in his New England backyard at the Buick Championship. Brad also came from behind, shooting a personal best and course record 61, and then won in a playoff with Tjaart van der Walt. Brad's been battling with a knee problem for a while now, and he had a challenging period last year. Through it all, Brad's maintained a great outlook and his naturally sunny personality. (In case you missed it, we profiled his tremendous effort at the Open Championship earlier this year.) Brad, you are truly deserving; congratulations on getting back to the winner's circle. |
