Tucsonan Fitzgerald introduces Match Play golfers 

If you were paying attention to the WGC-Cadillac Match Play last week, you probably heard a familiar voice. Tucsonan Dick Fitzgerald was the starter at the No. 1 tee at Harding Park in San Francisco; he introduced each golfer over five days. Fitzgerald, who is a Tucson Conquistador, did the same thing when the match play event was held at Dove Mountain. He is also the general manager and part owner of the historic Bayonet and Black Horse Golf Course near Pebble Beach, California, a course whose ownership includes Tucsonans Donald Pitt and Don Diamond.
