Perez laughed with the media after the 4Aces took home $16 million in top prize. “My team performed amazing this year. It’s like being part of something I have never felt apart from me and my caddie. We’ve been just us all our lives. It’s like one big family to have these guys, their coaches, families, and coaches. It’s amazing. It’s unbelievable.”

2. Griffin has a silver lining

4. McIlroy & Power: They are almost roommates at East Tennessee State

…” The small school located in Johnson City in Tennessee competes in both the Southern Conference (also known as Division I-AA) and the Football Championship Subdivision. The school’s most popular sport is golf, due to the fact that it has a strong pipeline from Great Britain (almost) and Ireland.

The news release, which was posted online in November 2004, states that McIlroy is a young man with a successful resume. McIlroy chose to play amateur golf in Ireland instead of going to college. However, Fred Warren, ETSU’s then coach, kept McIlroy’s signed letter of intent and had the document framed.

6. I didn’t like the way he handled himself

• Varner called James Piot, his young teammate, after the team lost.

• “I didn’t like the way Piot handled his situation. It doesn’t matter how much you lose, it is important to keep your head up and take it all on the chin. I was impressed by the way Turk and Hudson played. I went out to watch their last three holes, which was two or three holes. They played well. It’s as simple as that. It’s really that simple.

• “I had a great experience with the guys. They are amazing. Yes, I would love to see Turk. I also want to see Piot grow. These are the two things I care most about. Hudson, Hudson could not care less. He has won two times on the PGA Tour. He is a great guy. He is a great golfer. Those young men don’t know what they are doing. It’s just how it is.
