Two must be given to a golfer who has PGA Tour status of some kind, whether it be on the Nationwide Tour or the PGA Tour, and the other two can be given to any golfer the tribe would like to see compete in the event. Webster, 23, received one of the unrestricted exemptions.<br /><br />“It is … very exciting to find such a talented golfer who is Native American, which is important to our event,” said Bryan Addis, general manager of The Country Club at Soboba Springs in San Jacinto, where the fourth annual Soboba Golf Classic will be played April 2-8.Robhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01478763837213733775noreply@blogger.com
