Here are some pics from Wednesday’s practice round at the 2009 PGA Championship taking place at Hazeltine GC in Chaska, MN. The crowds were pretty big for a practice round especially since Tiger Woods didn’t even play a practice round and only hit the range, practice and chipping greens.
I ended up getting some great, up close pics of Tiger, Phil Mickelson, Sergio Garcia, John Daly and a few others. I can only imagine how big the crowds will be today – Sunday. I’m heading to 2nd round action Friday and plan to follow Phil in the morning and Tiger in the afternoon. Hopefully it’s not too hot.
My name is Bryan Hauer and I was born on January 11, 1976 in St. Paul, MN. Although my friends liked to kid me about it I am no relation as far as I know to the actor Rutger Hauer.
I grew up mostly in Minnesota and Wisconsin as I attended grade school in St. Paul, MN and junior high and high school in Racine, WI. After graduating high school I then went on to attend college in LaCrosse, WI.
Although I was born in Minnesota and lived there and Wisconsin most of my younger years, I've also lived in quite a few other states.
