Jim Rohrstaff Reflects On The AAC, Gives Update On The Hills and More
Q: What was your overall assessment of the AAC course conditions and the final score?
Rohrstaff was surprised the winning score was six under. He said the course was about 15 percent firmer than usual, and that wind, fast greens and the pressure of the championship made scoring difficult.
Unpacking the AAC with Rich Lerner
Q: What do you think it is about this tournament from a broadcasting point of view that is so special? And how do you find it compared to some of the larger events?
Lerner said the championship shows viewers that golf reaches beyond the PGA Tour and takes the game to distinctive places. He praised the founding partners' investment in amateur golf and the tournament's ability to grow interest through memorable venues.
Unpacking the AAC with Rich Lerner
