FROM THE NEWSROOM: CROMWELL, Conn.

Rodgers won 11 college tournaments and this years Ben Hogan and Jack Nicklaus awards as the nations top college player. Wilson won the NCAA individual title. Both are hoping to earn their PGA Tour cards this summer playing with sponsor exemptions. They say it is s a coincidence they both are beginning that process at the TPC River Highlands on Thursday. They will be competing in a field that includes four of the top eight players in the world, and 16 of the top 50. Eighty-two players in the field have at least one PGA Tour victory.
