This time, it was an easy choice. No go. Not even close.
“I’m not going to give up my last year of college golf for $10,000,” Brian Butler said.
But next time — on the wild and crazy chance that there is a next time, that is — Butler can’t promise that he’d make the same decision. Not with $1 million on the table. “That,” he said, laughing, “would probably be a different story.”
Butler, who recently completed his junior year at Boston College, where he’s a member of the golf team, turned down a $10,000 prize May 18 after making a hole-in-one in a qualifier for a unique tournament called The Benrus Open at the Preserve.
