January 23, 2002

January 23, 2002, Greencastle, Ind. - There will be a decidedly DePauw flavor to this week's Phoenix Open golf tournament. Overseeing things as tournament chairman will be 1981 DePauw University graduate Scott K. Henderson (seen in photo). Other DePauw alumni involved with the tournament include Dan Fox '83, Greg Mast '76, and Len Huck '44.

The 2002 Phoenix Open field includes 98 of last year's top 125 PGA Tour money winners, including David Duval, Fred Couples and Davis Love. The tournament can be seen Thursday through Sunday of this week on the USA and CBS television networks.
