Premium Open in Tucson Shapes Up on Easy Course
The $15,000 Tucson Open golf tournament opened at the EF Ric Country Club with premium play on the straight and easy course. Top money winners from last year were still missing as nine did not compete, following criticism of the PGA for not providing top players. Gene Littleno and Doug Ford arrived from San Diego and New York respectively while Fred Hawkins came from El Paso to lead the West Virginia cheering section.
