PGA president Derek Sprague had an unsettling few days last week while traveling to the PGA Professional National Championship in Pennsylvania.
Back home in Malone, N.Y., a town of about 6,000 people just south of the Canadian border, Sprague’s daughter, Alexandra, reported that law enforcement was abuzz after receiving tips that escaped New York convicts Richard Matt and David Sweat were in the area.
“My daughter calls me and says, ‘Dad, there are six state troopers here to check the house out and to secure it because they’re not sure where he is – on the move, or whatever,” Sprague told PGA.
