Its just a fabulous event - a few oddities I picked up from various sources.
A winner's master's jacket was found in a thrift store (pawn shop) about 40 yrs ago. It was from a genuine winner - they are all tagged etc. The buyer paid $3 for it - sold at auction for a v great deal more. ike $60k if i recall.
Some 800 media staff cover the event. U can go into a free draw, which 3% get to play on the Monday after the event. They say its one of the only ways u would ever get to play.
A guy got arrested for trying to take away a cup of sand from one of the bunkers in a beer cup.
