Central Coast California-based Fresh Express has agreed to serve as the title sponsor of the East Bay Area’s only PGA TOUR-sanctioned event, the Fresh Express Classic at TPC Stonebrae, a Nationwide Tour event. As previously announced, the tournament will be held April 12-18, 2010 at TPC Stonebrae, located atop the rugged East Bay hillside overlooking San Francisco Bay. The field of 144 plays 72 holes of stroke play, with all four rounds to be televised live by Golf Channel. NFL legend Jerry Rice, newly named to the Pro Football Hall of Fame, will serve as tournament host and the Jerry Rice 127 Foundation has been named as the “primary receiver” of the charitable proceeds generated by the annual event. An accomplished golfer, Rice has also received a sponsor’s exemption to compete against the Nationwide Tour pros. NOTE: Media Day for the tournament is March 16, 2010 at TPC Stonebrae.

Posting a solid victory on the Hooters Tour’s Carolina Winter Series, Brian Bergstol, the touring pro who represents Shawnee Inn and Golf Resort, already has his 2010 season off to a good start. Bergstol won the third event of the series, finishing at 13 under par for 54 holes at Meadowlands Golf Club in Calabash, N.C. With rounds of 70-67-66, Bergstol shot 203 to win by three strokes. “I am getting my confidence and putting together a full tournament,” said Bergstol, who said he plans to play in all of the remaining nine events in the series, which continues through February. The top five money-leaders in the series earn full exemptions to the 2010 Hooters Tour. Bergstol’s win was worth $3,500 and put him atop the series money list through two events. Bergstol, who turns 25 in January, is home in Mount Bethel until he returns to the series next week. He recently missed advancing through the PGA Tour Qualifying School, but the young pro hopes to return the main Hooters Tour, gain more experience and make another run at Q School a year from now. “Turning pro was a big thing for me,” said Bergstol, a small-school product who starred at Moravian College from 2004-2007. “I had to learn how to deal with the pressure and to focus on playing the game, not what the cut is going to be. I have to trust that I am good enough to compete. It takes time to adjust to all of that.”

Chambers Bay (pictured) has made a remarkable debut on the illustrious GOLF Magazine Top 100 rankings (October issue). Already named host of the 2015 U.S. Open, the spectacular public course in Tacoma, which opened in 2008, is ranked by the GOLF panel at No. 46 in the U.S. and No. 77 overall in the World.
