Chapter students Zoe Shamy and Wylie “Coyote” Inman played in the ultimate First Tee student opportunity – the Pure Insurance Championship. They played in this televised event each paired with a PGA Tour Champions professional at Pebble Beach and Spyglass Hill. Zoe was paired with Ken Duke and the Coyote played with Ernie Els.
The three-day event was televised on Golf Channel. Both students made the cut and they both finished tied for 10th place. This is the first time our chapter has sent two students to the Pure Insurance Championship.
“This was unbelievable!” said Wylie. “Three rounds at Pebble and two at Spyglass playing with Mr. Els was an incredible experience. He taught me a lot about my game.” Added Zoe: “Mr. Duke was so nice to me and my family. I have experienced some very special opportunities through First Tee, but the Pure Insurance Championship is now at the top of the list.”
