Teen earns PGA can
Final-round 66puts Tryon on Tom
WEST PALM BEACH, Fla. (AP) — The PGA
Tour is about to get some peach fuzz.
Ty Tryon, the 17-year-old golfer with a man-
sized game, became the youngest player in histo
ry to earn a PGA Tour card Monday when he
closed with a bogey-free 66 to easily finish in the
top 35 at qualifying school.
How to celebrate such a feat?
“Shirley Temples!” said his father. Bill Tryon,
who groomed the boy to be a pro from the time he
sent him to swing guru David Leadbetter at age 7.
Tryon started the final round at breezy Bear
Lakes Country Club three strokes out of the top 35
and needing his best score of the six-day tourna
ment to get his card. He had a 66 in mind and
delivered, making the most gut-wrenching day in
golf look like child’s play.
“It’s just unbelievable,” said Tryon, who fin
ished at 18-under 414 and in a tie for 23rd. nine
strokes behind winner Pat Perez. “Tonight when 1
go to sleep. I’ll know that I’m on the PGA Tour.”
He’ll have to wait seven months.
The PGA Tour adopted a new policy in
September that players be 18 before they can
become members. Tryon turns 18 on June 2.
Until then, he can accept sponsor’s exemptions
to seven tournaments and play no more than 12.
He will not show up on the PGA Tour money list
until June.
That can wait. Next up is rookie orientation,
followed by a more pressing concern. The junior
at Dr. Phillips High School in Orlando has an
English paper due Friday on "To Kill a
Mockingbird.”
“Yeah. I’ve read so much,” Tryon said, rolling
his eyes.
He has proved to be a quick studying
of professional golf.
Tryon was playing junior golf a yean;
burst onto the stage at the Honda Qa«
March. A Monday qualifier, he becamt
youngest player in 44 years to makethecittu
PGA Tour. He was 16 at the time, and won
in a tie for 39th.
In July, he was tied for the lead after one n
of the B.C. Open and finished tied for 371
“After the first round of the B.C. Oper,
like, ‘This is doable.’ I didn’t know it woaU
this smooth, right through Q-school c
try," he said.
Tryon made it through all three stages::

It was only fitting the way Tryon resp i

With an LSU victory, there is

Oregon could also have a claim
to the national title.
If Oregon (10-1) wins its
BCS bowl game, which was
given to them as PAC-10 cham
pions, and Nebraska upsets
Miami in the Rose Bowl, then
Oregon will have a decent argu
ment to be co-champions.
The BCS was put into effect
after the 1997 season, when
Nebraska and Michigan finished
the year undefeated and shared
the national title.
So, if the Volunteers are upset
by the Tigers Saturday, BCS
opponents will rejoice and BCS
officials will prepare themselves
for a whirlwind of problems.

At 38, Jordan has barely been
able to practice for more than a
week. When he does, he can’t
make it through the entire session.
Jordan is averaging 24.8
points and 38 minutes per game
and is shooting just 40 percent,
well below his career average.
He leads the league in shots
taken and shots missed.
“We’re pleased with the
results of Michael’s examina
tion” said Wizards general man
ager Wes Unseld. “Michael will
rest the knee for a few days and
continue his treatment so that he
can return as soon as possible.”
Unseld said that “Michael
wants to play every minute of
every game,” but that coach Doug
Collins “will manage Michael’s
minutes in an effort to rail
the soreness in the knee."
