Jack Nicklaus has won the PNC Father-Son Challenge with his son. Now he's going to try it with his grandson.
The 20-team field anchored by major champions includes Nicklaus playing with Gary "G.T." Nicklaus Jr., whose father won the tournament with Nicklaus in 1999. The only other father-grandson teams over the years were Arnold Palmer with Sam Saunders and Will Wears.
Nicklaus described G.T. as a "big kid and has the potential to be a very talented player."
"Only time will tell whether he will be and wants to be a really good player," Nicklaus said. "For now, I just want him to enjoy the experience, just as I will enjoy it. Oh, and guess whose tee shot we'll be playing most of the time?"
The tournament is Dec. 16-17 at The Ritz-Carlton Golf Club Orlando at Grande Lakes.
The eligibility is for players who have won a major or The Players Championships. Their partner must not have a PGA Tour card. The format is a 36-hole scramble.
Rooting interest
Lane Johnson is in his fifth season with the Philadelphia Eagles. So for the 27-year-old right-tackle from Groveton, Texas, this is his ninth "Dallas Week."
Being a Texas native, Johnson has a lot of Cowboys fans in his family -- including his grandma. "Just pretty much all my family is from Texas and a lot of them say they're Eagles fans, but I think deep down they root -- like even last year, the Cowboys going to the playoffs," Johnson told the media on Monday.
"I heard my grandma in there rooting for Dallas. I said, 'If you want to live to see 75 you better shut up.' Just messing with her."
Streaking
The man who interrupted the Buffalo Bills-New Orleans Saints game Sunday at Ralph Wilson Stadium by streaking is using his fame to further charitable causes.
First things first, though. The streaker in question, Tristan Lambright, 27, delighted -- or horrified (or both) -- fans in attendance with his end zone-to-end zone dash in the buff. It made for quite the scene.
However, Lambright was taken to jail for his streaking exploits. After being taken to jail, Lambright was charged with criminal trespass and public lewdness, both misdemeanors. Lambright pleaded not guilty to both charges. Bail was set at $500 cash, $2,000 bond.
Lambright is taking his pressing legal issues all in stride and decided to turn his newfound celebrity streaker status into something positive. First, a company has created a Bills streaker t-shirt ($14.95) and hoodie ($24.95) to commemorate the streak.
Drew Nye, the co-owner of the Blossom Road Pub in Rochester, N.Y., also reached out to Lambright, who has agreed to make an appearance at the establishment for the Bills' Nov. 26 game against the Kansas City Chiefs. Nye agreed to cover half of Lambright's bail in exchange. But Nye also has asked folks who plan to attend to bring gently used coats to the pub.
"We love to have a party but we wanted to continue on the train of positivity," Nye said of the shindig. "We're trying to have fun. If we can collect some clothes for people that need them, it gives the event a little bit of balance."
