WEIR TOPS MONEY LIST: Draper's Mike Weir continues to lead the PGA Tour's money list with $4,046,392 in earnings, just ahead of Davis Love III. Provo's Dan Forsman ranks 62nd with $628,959, while ex-BYU golfer Dean Wilson is 75th at $500,165. Another former Cougar, Andy Miller, is 187th on the list, while St. George's Jay Don Blake is 191st.
ZOELLER WINS PAR-3 SHOOTOUT: Two days after finishing tied for fourth in the U.S. Senior Open, Fuzzy Zoeller was the easy winner in the Par-3 Shootout on Tuesday, finishing with $330,000.
Fred Couples, last year's winner of the two-day, 18-hole skins event played at Treetops Resort, finished with $90,000 as did Lee Trevino, who was shut out over the final nine holes. Phil Mickelson, who was bothered by a sore neck, won $30,000.
Each skin was worth $20,000, while the player closest to the pin on each hole collected another $10,000. A hole-in-one was worth $1 million.
"None of us hit the ball very, very well today," said Zoeller, who won two holes worth $100,000 each on Tuesday. "There was enough of a breeze out there to make us feel uneasy, but it was fun."
TOP-FLITE SOLD TO CALLAWAY: The Top-Flite Golf Co. filed for bankruptcy on Monday and said it would sell its assets to club maker Callaway Golf for $125 million.
Top-Flite CEO Jim Craigie said his company's $250 million in sales last year were deluged by $530 million debt in a market that was too competitive. Under the deal Top-Flite would retain its debt. Craigie said he doesn't expect any interruption in supply, production or distribution of Top-Flite golf products.
He said Carlsbad, Calif.-based Callaway plans to continue making Top-Flite, Ben Hogan and Strata golf products, which account for about 70 percent of Top-Flite's sales.
