GOLF DIGEST has a huge article about Tryon in its June issue. There's no new revelations worth mentioning in it, mostly its just a rehash of whats happened to him since Q-School. The only new bit of info I saw was that Tryon missed out on a practice round at Doral with Ernie Els - because Ty forgot. By far the most suprising part of the article wasn't about Ty at all - it was a long awaited picture of Ty's girlfriend - Lauren Bedford. She's a model with Elite, but there has been a suprising lack of photos on the internet of her - she's not even listed or pictured at the Elite website.

AN ARTICLE IN THE STAR-TELEGRAM SAYS that Ty is recovered from mono, and ready to go for the rest of the season. The problem is that because of his poor play and sickness, he's going to have difficulty getting into events for the rest of the year. Because Tryon has missed the cut in all four tournaments he has played in 2002, he has dropped in the pecking order among exempt players since finishing 23rd at the PGA Tour Qualifying Tournament in November. That finish provided him a tour card. But access to events for Q-School graduates, at this juncture, is based on season earnings, and Tryon has none of those.

He could still rely on sponsor's exemptions - as a member he is allowed an unlimited number. But late in the season, those exemptions are usually given out to player's close to the Top 125 on the money list. Despite all this, Ty thinks he'll be playing alot this fall. There are 20 weeks remaining on the tour schedule, and Tryon should land spots in events during most of those weeks.
