Note from Tournament Director Mark Brazil

Dear Founders Club, We lost a legend this week with the passing of our friend and 1961 General Chair Mose Kiser. Great article by News & Record attached. Mose was a true giant in our 80-yr history - not only for doing the right thing in a tough time with the invitation to Mr Sifford - but also for being such a kind and wonderful person. Mose always represented our PGA TOUR Event - and all of us in the Founders Club who have served as stewards of the tournament - with grace & in a first-class manner. Our love, thoughts and prayers are with the Kiser family. Rest In Peace Mose, Mark Brazil
