AT&T National Gets Underway Today

by Roz Roberts III

One of the added benefits of last week's fourth place finish for Michael Thompson was a spot in this week's 120 man field AT&T National.  Normally on the PGA Tour, finishing in the top 10 gets you into the following week's tournament.  However, that wasn't the case for this week's tournament since it is a smaller field invitational.  However, the Tiger Woods Foundation extended a sponsor's exemption to Michael after his final round 62 last week.

Via Twitter, Greg McLaughlin from the Tiger Woods Foundation said
Just called Michael Thompson (62 today) and gave him an exemption for next week. He was happy. Well deserved. No top 10's here b/c of Invit.
Michael will be teeing off from the first hole on Thursday in the last group of the day at 1:39pm ET.
