Greg Hickman was all set for the week. He was going to caddie for Gene Jones, provided Jones qualified for the Commerce Bank Championship in the qualifier Tuesday. Jones did make it, but he had to find someone else to carry his bag.
The problem was that Hickman qualified, too. As a part-time Champions Tour player, who gets in tournaments whenever he can and caddies when he doesn't, Hickman suddenly started hitting it solid on the Eisenhower Park White Course Tuesday and made the field.
And both Hickman and Jones shot 66s today, and will play in the final group with Loren Roberts (who shot 65) in the final group tomorrow.
Only on the Champions Tour can you get a story like this.
