Norman Design Hosts Tour's Best | March 30, 2005 |
The Greg Norman designed Tournament Players Club at Sugarloaf in Duluth,

and a perfect nine out of nine cuts made. In last year's event Johnson
finished on 13 under, one shot ahead of Mark Hensby.
Sugarloaf measures 7,292 yards and plays to a par of 72. The undulating
greens will provide a familiar feel to those currently under preparation at
Augusta National.

McCarron (1997 and 2001), Phil Mickelson (2000), Retief Goosen (2002) and
Johnson. Total prize money this week is $5 million with $900 000 going to
