Tryon earns first PGA check
Posted: Friday May 16, 2008 04:56AM ET
Having gotten in as a Monday qualifier, former phenom Ty Tryon shot 67-69-72-72 (tied for 37th) at the Nationwide Tour stop in Arkansas last week and earned his first check ($2,750) of any kind from a tournament associated with the PGA Tour. A month shy of his 24th birthday, Tryon basked in the spotlight as a 17-year-old who earned his way through the PGA Tour's qualifying tournament in 2001, but he has struggled to find his way ever since. Now married with a child, he's continuing his golf pursuit and for assistance he's recruited his 22-year-old brother, J.J., to caddie for him. "He's basically free, except for all the food he eats," Tryon told reporters in Arkansas.
