ELKTON, MD — The Open Championship has verified another member of the Captain?s Club has signed to play in 2002.  CEO, Jamie Myers announced the signing of ?pink-tee? Jay Dilks to a National Letter of Intent for the 2002 Carl Spackler Open.  This will be the lone signee for the state of Maryland during the November signing period, which ends on Christmas day.

Jay Dilks has been harassed over the past year about his use of ?pink-tees? on the golf course.  He uses pink-tees on each hole that he leaves a putt short.  In the 2001 Open Championship, Dilksy easily placed last in the putting category.  Jay went his last 36 holes with only two long putts.  ?I have been working on my putting this summer?, said Dilks.  ?I plan to contend this year, but understand there is a very talented field.?

"Dilksy is a highly competitive athlete and one of the nation's most sought-after recruits," commented Myers, who is one of a long list of great golfers.  With addition of Dilksy, the tournament stands at four players for this upcoming spring tournament ? myself, Mike Trojanowski and rookie Scott Miller - we will look for Dilksy to fill one of those coveted spots in our fantastic field.  He is so mentally tough out on the course.  Dilksy will bring lots of talent and enthusiasm to our tournament."
