text size

• When Bob Gilder tees it up this week at The Ginn Championship at Hammock Beach, it will mark the 100th consecutive tournament in which he's played. This week's field includes all 30 of the top30 money winners from the 2007 season on the Champions Tour. That's the first time it has happened since the 2005 Constellation Energy Senior Players Championship.

• Former Masters champion and European Ryder Cup captain Ian Woosnam will make his Champions Tour debut this week. Seven-time PGA TOUR winner Joey Sindelar turns 50 this coming Sunday (March 30) and will make his debut next week at The Cap Cana.

• Brad Bryant has finished second in the last three Champions Tour events. He's the seventh player in Tour history to finish in the runner-up spot in three-consecutive events. He joins a list that includes Chi Chi Rodrguez (1986), Dale Douglass (1987), Bob Charles (1987), Jim Albus (1994), Ray Floyd (1995) and Larry Nelson (2000). No one has ever finished second in four consecutive tournaments.

• Keith Fergus' win at The Ginn Championship at Hammock Beach last year came in his 72nd start on the Champions Tour and made him just the second player ever to post titles on the PGA TOUR, Nationwide Tour and Champions Tour. Ron Streck is the other -- completing the trifecta by winning on the Champions Tour in 2005.

• Keith Fergus defended three titles in his PGA TOUR career. After winning the 1981 Memorial Tournament, he tied for 27th the next year at Muirfield Village. As the defending champion of the 1982 Georgia-Pacific Atlanta Golf Classic, Fergus tied for 11th. He also won the 1983 Bob Hope Desert Classic but missed the cut the following year as the defending champion.

• Four players made a pair of eagles in a round at last year's event, the most in a tournament since four players had a pair of eagles in a round at the 2002 AT&T Canada Senior Open. One of those four in 2007 was Brad Bryant, who posted two eagles in a five-hole stretch in the final round. Bryant had two other eagles during the event, becoming just the eighth player in Champions Tour history to make four eagles in a tournament. Bryant went on to make only four more eagles the rest of the season. The others to enjoy two eagles in a round at this event a year ago were Mark O'Meara (first round), Tom Purtzer (second round) and Bobby Wadkins (second round).

• The Ginn Championship at Hammock Beach will not be the only professional golf tournament in Palm Coast this year. The Tom Watson-designed Conservatory Course at Hammock Beach will host the PGA TOUR's Ginn sur Mer Classic later this year on October 27-November 2.
