have ended this past week amid a storm of controversy. Hopoate reached an
agreement Sunday with his team, the Wests Tigers (in Australia's National

clubhouse golf library and visit the lockerroom reserved for past champions.
Monday he was honored at a banquet and Tuesday, except for the rain, he
would have played a practice round with Arnold Palmer and Sergio Garcia. And
yesterday he played in the annual three-par tournament. |
