Note: Localizing a big event. Without many Michigan ties to the field of the PGA Championship in 2008 at Oakland Hills, we had to resort to writing about the caddies. Achatz is a great guy and I also hooked him up with my friend Jamie Samuelsen for a radio interview on WDFN-1130 AM. Published Aug. 7, 2008.
