Actually, this is the seventh year for the SAS Championship at Prestonwood Country Club.    This event has become one of the Champions Tour's top events.  In attendance this year will be nine of the yar's Top-10 players, 14 of the year's 16 winners, and 27 of the last year's Top-30 players.   Not to name names but why not--some of the big names will include defending champion Tom Jenkins and all pat Tournament champions, World Golf Hall of Famers Hale Irwin, Tom Kite, Lary Nelson, Curtis Strange, Nick Price and Bernhard Langer.   This will be Langer and Prices's first appearance at the Cary event.  In addition to Morehead resident Strange, Raleigh Native Scott Hoch, Fayetteveill Native Chip Beck and Wake Forest Alum Jay Haas give the field a North Carolina flavor. 

Parking will be just around the corner at Bond Park with easy access to shuttle buses to the event. I hope I see you out this year.  It should be a lot of fun.
