Life on the PGA Tour hasn't been easy for the Chicago-connected players, but that could change this week.
Luke Donald, Doug Ghim, Nick Hardy, Kevin Streelman and Dylan Wu are all in the field for the Valspar Championship, the last of the four tournaments on the circuit's Florida Swing.
The Chicago fivesome in the field will battle for a share of the $8.1 million in prize money when the tournament tees off on the Copperhead Course on Thursday. Donald and Streelman are past champions.Hardy has missed his last four cuts, Ghim has missed seven of his last eight and Streelman three of his last four.
In addition to earning $114,166 in one of golf's best-playing tournaments, Wu was up close to the excitement as Aaron Rai, his third-round playing partner, made one of the tourney's three holes-in-one. The last player to notch a three-peat was Steve Stricker, who ruled the John Deere Classic from 2009-11. Other three-peaters since World War II were Gene Littler, Billy Casper, Jack Nicklaus, Johnny Miller, Tom Watson and Stuart Appleby.
