Storylines: Buckeyes show support, Cook named Honorary Chairman
WILL ANOTHER ALL-AMERICAN TAKE THE TITLE? -- In a very improbable development last year, Daniel Summerhays became the first amateur in the history of the Nationwide Tour to win an event when he captured the Nationwide Children's Hospital Invitational in July. Summerhays, who was coming off his senior season at BYU, was one of seven NCAA Division I First-Team All-Americans who were invited and competed in the inaugural event.

Vying for the title will be First-Team All-Americans Jonas Blixt/Florida State, Kevin Chappell/UCLA, Rickie Fowler/Oklahoma State, Rory Hie/USC, Sihwan Kim/Stanford, Jamie Lovemark/USC and Michael Thompson/Alabama.

As part of the New Game, New Thinking series (click here to learn more), Turnesa, who has finished inside the top 25 twice this season, recently spent some time with PGATOUR.com freelance writer Rudy Klancnik:

Golf in Paradise isn't a dream on the islands of Madeira and Mallorca
There is a misconception among many seasoned golfers that any time you find a resort location including golf among its offerings, the golf courses will be mediocre -- average run of the mill courses, geared toward wannabe golfers and weekend hackers.
