What was the name of the guy from Nebraskas that played in the tournament?

Pretty Good story


The only one of the four who didn't seem to mind the scores was John Atkinson, a medical salesman from Omaha, Neb., who was chosen from 56,374 essay applicants to play in the challenge. He finished with a 43-over 114.

"At some point I just didn't really care," said Atkinson, who is undergoing treatment for advanced inoperable lung cancer. "I just wanted to enjoy it."

Atkinson had a 56-person cheering section with him. They shouted "C'mon, Johnny!" when his ball hit the green and gave sympathetic claps and "awws" when he disappeared into the bunkers.

His friend, Dave Leahy, said the crowd joined Atkinson as he trained in Omaha to prepare him for the pressure playing in front of an audience.

"He was out there every Saturday with 50 people pretending to be the gallery and wearing a mike so he'd get used to it," Leahy said.

He gave his caddy, noted sports psychologist Bob Rotella, a sweet shrug after chasing the ball around the green before making his putt on the fifth hole.

"It's a once-in-a-lifetime experience for him," said his wife, Lori. "It doesn't matter."

Woods told reporters last year at Oakmont, generally considered the toughest golf course in America, that no 10-handicapper could break 100. With Torrey Pines refurbished into a 7,643-yard "monster" - the longest in U.S. Open history - it served as a suitable stand-in for the challenge, hosted by Golf ****** magazine and NBC.

Torrey Pines, named for the rare gnarled trees that dot the cliffside course, will be the first city-owned golf course to host a U.S. Open starting next Thursday.
