Happy birthday
Palm Harbor's John Huston turned 50 on Wednesday, which means he is eligible for the Champions Tour. Huston will waste no time playing on it. He is in the field for this week's Principal Charity Classic in Des Moines, Iowa. Huston, who played at Dunedin High and Auburn, turned pro in 1988. He has won seven times on the PGA Tour, the last time in 2003.
Low-maintenance caddie
Steve Hulka filled in as Tampa resident Ryuji Imada's caddie for the final round of the Byron Nelson Championship on Sunday, and it raised the question: If Imada had won, would Hulka have gotten the Cadillac that goes to the winning caddie? Hulka had it figured out ahead of time: "All I wanted was four tires for my truck." It didn't come to that. Imada finished second.
