Joey Gullion

Gullion's last-place finish earned him $2,674, but a bigger bonus might be the experience he gained by playing with some established pros during the practice rounds. Gullion teed it up on Tuesday with Tom Lehman, whose brother Jim is Gullion's agent, and on Wednesday with Fred Couples, who plays out of Gleneagles Country Club in Gullion's hometown of Piano, Texas. "I learned that these guys hit bad shots too, so it's all right if I hit a few," says Gullion. "If I can come away from here with more composure, that's a victory."
