Augusta Day 3: At Least We Know Who Won't Win

The answer to that one is "Ryan Moore"

Since Moore won the Par-3 tourney in Augusta with a 6-under 21, no winner of the short tourney on Wednesday has gone on to win the 72 hole event by Sunday night. Ray Floyd and Chip Beck each finished second after winning the Par-3, and that's as close as anyone has ever gotten.

One of the larger issues for independent business people around the tourney is the idea of parking. Patrons can get access to 8,500 free parking spaces near the course. But for those who are getting there a little late can find lots to park. But those who are paying is a lessening number...

Wranglers Moving Up In The World, Literally...

((HT: KLAS-TV))

So, they were this/close to leaving town until the leadership of the franchise came up with a unique idea to keep them around...

Like... renovating the top of a parking structure...

Here's the live shot from downtown to talk about it...

It is interesting to see a double-a hockey franchise investing seven figures to keep themselves in town...

It will be just as interesting to see how well the franchise adapts to being a property owner as the project goes forward...
