At the beginning of the week, I couldn't have dreamed it up any better,
Credit unions have a long-standing reputation for serving people of modest means. There is an increasing gap between the average family income and the cost of area real estate, and we're confident that this initiative will help to narrow that gap.
This one definitely ranks up there. I've been on tour six years and this is my fifth title - it's not like it happens everyday.
There's no way I would have believed that I'd be playing a legend like Andre Agassi in the quarter-finals on Wednesday at the Open.
