Salpointe grad Mahoney heads Phoenix Thunderbirds
The PGA Tour’s $6.3 million Waste Management Phoenix Open is operated by the Phoenix Thunderbirds, which is similar to the Tucson Conquistadores, the group that has operated a PGA Tour event in Tucson for 52 years. This year’s chairman of the Thunderbirds is former Salpointe Catholic basketball player Dan Mahoney, a graduate of the UA law school. Mahoney is now an attorney for Snell and Wilmer in Phoenix.
