When Ryan Palmer lost his father in August, he knew that it would lead him to add an event in October.
Charles Palmer, better known as Butch, died at age 71 in a one-car accident on Aug. 19 near his home in Amarillo, Texas. When he wasn't watching his son play on the PGA Tour, Palmer was active in the Shriners network, at one point serving as the head officer of the Khiva Shrine in Amarillo.
Palmer returned to golf shortly after his father's death, finishing T-6 at The Barclays to spark a playoff run that ended at the BMW Championship.
