Friday night was the annual Black Tie  Dinner and fund raiser for the Western Golf Association (WGA) and Evans Scholars Foundation.

Originally scheduled featured speaker Nick Faldo had a last minute family emergency to attend to, so Justin Leonard the two-time Western Amateur champion at Point O’Woods in Benton Harbor Michigan, filled in on short notice.

Prior to the dinner Leonard sat for a media session, that covered his Western Amateur victories, experiences during the Western Open, the role of the caddie, how not a week goes by without someone asking him about his historic Ryder Cup putt at Brookline in 1999. Leonard spoke his new job with NBC as an on course golf reporter, and shared thoughts about what’s happening on the PGA Tour.
