He is experiencing all the traditions in golf's most traditional setting. Saturday and Sunday night he spent the night in the Crow's Nest, the sleeping quarters in the clubhouse reserved for amateurs, just like Jack Nicklaus and Tiger Woods. He had the chance to browse the clubhouse golf library and visit the lockerroom reserved for past champions. Monday he was honored at a banquet and Tuesday, except for the rain, he would have played a practice round with Arnold Palmer and Sergio Garcia.

Meanwhile, the work of the five Mormon pro basketball players was eclipsed this past week by Matt Christensen of Duke University, whose team won the NCAA championship. In addition, four of the six Mormon baseball players prepared to start the season this week.
