The Confidence Factor: Fort Worth Invitational

Look, it’s “Colonial”, ok?

This is one of those weeks where the venue > all and I’m old-skewl so that’s what I’m calling it, just like I call Riviera “Riviera”.

Edited 4: 30 pm to reflect the addition of Beau Hossler as I left him out originally.ย

With walk-up music being introduced for the first time on TOUR, I’ve added a bit to the preview this week.
