Daniel Engle is apparently getting air time on The Golf Channel this week. The recent Phoenix High graduate partnered with Fred Funk in the Nike Junior Golf Shootout last week during the Tradition on the Champions Tour. A friend called to tell me parts of it are being shown on TGC during a recap segment of the major at Sunriver’s Crosswater Golf Club.
The program is titled: Champions Tour Learning Center. It airs again, possibly for the last time on this tourney, at 11:30 this morning. It’s Channel 27 on Charter Cable.
I’m told Engle is shown a handful of times hitting shots. Six threesomes played four holes in a scramble format, then he top three played one more hole to determine the top three places.
Engle won the Class 4A boys state title last spring and will walk on to Oregon State’s golf team this fall.
