BOEING CLASSIC NEWS

Loren Roberts Media Day

On Sunday night Loren Roberts awaited his flight in Memphis after spending some time away from the Champions TOUR at home with his family. At the time his plane was scheduled to depart, the screen suddenly flashed “DELAYED” and the announcement was made that the airline was dealing with a mechanical issue.

With only a short window of time available to spend in Seattle before a scheduled flight to Oregon for the Jeld-Wen Tournament Roberts knew the wake-up call would come early, but his commitment to promote the Boeing Classic and successfully defend his title was first and foremost on his mind.

He arrived in Seattle very late Sunday night and though many would not blame him for wanting to cut the day’s agenda short, Roberts instead enthusiastically navigated his way through the day while helping to grow the awareness of the Boeing Classic and the Champions Tour along the way.
