2.   The golf tournament had to be held over until the line of thunderstorms had passed through.

3.   The tournament had a strong international flavour with top players from the United States, Japan, Scandinavia, Australia, Spain, South America.

4.   Amelie is virtually out of action before the tournament has even begun.

5.   And while this tournament does not have the impact of a Ryder Cup, it sure got respectable in a hurry.

6.   But Andre Agassi, Patrick Rafter, Goran Ivanisevic and Tim Henman provided sufficient star power, and the tournament has had healthy walk-up sales.

7.   But the tournament had its lighter side, too.

8.   Eger said he had no regrets, and no solutions to the weather problems the tournament has had.

9.   Every tournament has some promoter-discretion slots.

10.   Fittingly for someone remembered most for western roles, the tournament has a city-slickers theme.
