WATSON WINS IN FLORIDA
Tom Watson won the Outback Steakhouse Pro-Am for his first professional victory in Florida last weekend, closing with a 1-under 70 in cold and windy conditions for a one-stroke margin over Jay Haas and Andy Bean last Sunday. Watson, the five-time British Open champion who entered the week winless in 93 pro events in Florida, birdied the final hole in the second round shortly after frost cleared on the TPC Tampa Bay course to pull within a stroke of the lead.

BOEING CHAMPIONSHIP SEEKING VOLUNTEERS
The Boeing Championship, one of the finest sporting events in the Fort Walton/Destin area, has made a name for itself with fantastic finishes. None of it would be possible without the outstanding volunteer force that numbers 750 strong. For an entire week our area becomes the focal point of the golf world. You don't even have to be a golf fanatic to make a difference-there are literally hundreds of roles available where golf knowledge takes a backseat to your desire to help the community. So take a glance at the volunteer committee descriptions and decide which roles will benefit most from your unique skills. We encourage you to join us this year and become a part of the volunteer team that's one of the best in the business. Nothing compares to getting this close to the action of today's hottest sport!
