The final group in the official second round of the 3M Championship was leaving the 11th tee when a roar came rolling in from the northeast. It was a facsimile of those ?Arnie roars?? that were once famous at Augusta National.
As it turned out, that?s exactly what it was: an Arnie Roar. The King was serving as the captain for Team LPGA, one of the three ?Greats of Golf?? groups that were dominating the galleries on Saturday at TPC Twin Cities.
The Greats were playing a scramble, and the captains were allowed to attempt shots or putts whenever they so decided. Palmer?s threesome of Annika Sorenstam, Nancy Lopez and Pat Bradley all missed the birdie putt at No. 9, so Arnold lined it up and made the putt.
Roar.
Mark Wiebe, Kenny Perry and Corey Pavin were heading down the 11th fairway. Hal Sutton was coming in the opposite direction on the 12th, with a pair of strangers: Jeff Brehaut and John Riegger.
Brehaut and Riegger were among the five players who gained fully exempt status for 2013 through the Champions Tour?s qualifying school last November. The covenant with this is a player must reach his 50th birthday before he joins the senior competition.
Brehaut and Riegger both turned 50 on June 13. While they were waiting, Esteban Toledo and Chie-Hsiang Lin ? the next two finishers in Q school ? had exempt status. Toledo won the Houston event in the first week of May.
?Esteban took full advantage, that?s for sure,?? Riegger said.
