| NOTES: |
|
The third of four new Nationwide Tour events on the 2010 schedule takes place
this week, as tour players travel to Canonsburg, Pa., for the inaugural Mylan
Classic outside of Pittsburgh. Eight of the top 10 players on the money list
are in the field. Tommy Gainey will be looking to win for the third time this
season, which would earn him a promotion to the PGA Tour.
The first new event in 2010 was the Pacific Rubiales Bogota Open in March, won
by Steve Pate. Gainey captured the second new event, the Chiquita Classic in
July. The final inaugural tournament of 2010 will be the Winn-Dixie
Jacksonville Open in October.
The honorary chairman for this tournament is golf legend Arnold Palmer. Palmer
grew up in Latrobe, Pa., and still spends time in the area, where he owns and
operates Latrobe Country Club.
The tournament will be played at Southpointe Golf Club, which was designed by
Arthur Hills and opened in 1994. Southpointe has hosted many Tri-State PGA
Section tournaments, Western Pennsylvania Golf Association events and
Pennsylvania State Golf Association qualifiers.
Mylan, Inc., the sponsor for this week's event, is among the leading generic
and specialty pharmaceutical companies in the world and provides products to
customers in more than 140 countries and territories.
The Nationwide Tour travels to Utah next week for the Utah Championship in
Sandy, where Josh Teater captured the 2009 title.
