In nine years being involved with Century Club San Diego, the non-profit that runs the Farmers Insurance Open, Marty Gorsich had never experienced such a gesture.
After tying for 37th Sunday at Torrey Pines, Justin Suh, who had received a sponsor exemption into the field, decided to donate half of his $34,125 check back to the tournament.
“I was completely caught off guard by it,” said Gorsich, who is in his second year as tournament director and CEO of Century Club. “The financial hardships this pandemic has created for non-profit host organizations like ours is something the players and their agents have started asking questions about, but this is an amazing gesture of support for the Century Club and everything we do for our community.
