FCWT Wedding News: the FCWT congratulates Executive Tour Director Jon Hopson and his bride on their wedding
Sunday was a big day for the Future Collegians World Tour (FCWT). Not only were two junior golf tournaments in progress, one on each coast, the Executive Tour Director, Jonathan Hopson, was getting married.
The Wedding Party
And if that weren’t enough, Hopson’s good friend Bill Haas was contending for the Northern Open at Riviera. So between photo-ops, Hopson kept an eye on the PGA Tour event scoring via his phone.
Checking Bill Haas' scores
When Hopson learned during the reception that Haas had won, he announced it to the guests and the place erupted with cheers. (Of course, when you get married at a golf course, the guests are often familiar with the game!) Congratulations, Bill, from all of us at the FCWT!
