PGA Playoffs Stop in New England

I was so excited to cover the Deutsche Bank Championship in Norton, Mass. on Labor Day.  I got to talk to Rickie Fowler, Phil Mickelson, and the winner of this stop of the Fed Ex Cup Playoffs, Webb Simpson.  (Unfortunately I didn't get to chat with one of my favorites- Adam Scott due to a throat illness.)  It was incredible to be at this event, a sport that I play and have a lot of respect for.  This was very different from the LPGA Futures tour stop in NH that I helped to organize two years ago, with tons more fans and crowd control.  Many people were waiting to get autographs from the big names, for hours. 
I was particularly impressed with Fowler, who not only signed dozens of hats and balls but seemed very down to earth in our chat.  Check out a snippet of my interview with him....
