PREVIEW: Turning Stone Resort - Friday, September 14, 2007

VERNON, N.Y. -- It's just about time for the 2007 PGA Tour Fall Series and the Turning Stone Resort in New York is ready to prove itself once again as one of golf's most gracious hosts. "Turning Stone Resort did a tremendous job hosting the B.C. Open in July (2006) with just two weeks to prepare," said PGA Tour Commissioner Tim Finchem in an article on PGATour.com. "Our players, staff and officials all came away impressed with the course, the resort and the individuals that helped make this event happen in such a short amount of time. We are delighted that this partnership will allow the creation of a new event that we know the market will embrace." The first of seven tournaments in the Fall Series, next week's Turning Stone Resort Championship, hosted by the Oneida Indian Nation, will provide a $6-million purse for the field in this year's event. Notah Begay III, ambassador for the Turning Stone Resort, is back in the field after a week off from his playing schedule. Also among those vying for next week's first-place prize are John Daly, Stuart Appleby, Rich Beem and Corey Pavin.
