THE PHOENIX OPEN JANUARY 24-27th will be Ty's first PGA Tour event of 2002. Phoenix is where Mark Calcaveccia broke the 72 hole scoring record last year and where Tiger Woods once had his gallery remove a giant boulder from in front of his ball. Jay Danzi of IMG said that was one reason Tryon decided to start the year in Phoenix, along with the fact he has played several junior events there and knows the course. Tryon is also mentioned in this PGATour.com article primarily about amateur James Vargas.
