Western Amateur to rotate courses (AP)

 
The Point O'Woods Golf & Country Club will no longer be the sole host of the Western Amateur golf tournament after 2008. Tiger Woods (1994) and Phil Mickelson (1991) are among the big names who have won Western Amateur titles at Point O'Woods, which first hosted the tournament in 1963. It returned in 1965 and has been held at the club since 1971. [link]
