Player's Journal: The Long Road to Learning How to Win
By Micheal Brennan & Shane Bacon
5 mins read
The Monday I won my first PGA Tour event, I was mistaken for a pro-am player.
I got the call Friday afternoon that I was in the Bank of Utah Championship. The resort at Black Desert is big and there is a lot of construction going on. My first Tour event (as a pro) so I really had no idea how registration went. I knew credentials would be different, so me and my caddie pull in in the same car. We ask as we get out, “Hey, we’re playing in the tournament, where do I go” and the volunteer thought I was playing in the Monday Pro-Am. So we went to the wrong parking lot, it took an hour and a half to get everything situated, but that is how the week started.
