Up and down day for Texas Tech grads at celebrity golf event in Lake Tahoe
The two former Texas Tech football stars in the American Century Championship celebrity golf tournament in Lake Tahoe, Nev., over the weekend had mixed results.
Billy Joe Tolliver, who played quarterback at Texas Tech from 1985-88, finished in a tie for 13th with a 49 in the Stableford format that gives positive points for under par results, zero points for pars and negative points for results over par. His 49 was 31 points behind tournament winner Jack Wagner.
Wes Welker, a standout receiver for the Red Raiders from 2000-2003, was not so fortunate. He finished tied for 64th in the 83 player field with minus-9 points. His final round on Sunday was a plus-9, his only positive day of the event, so it could have been much worse.
