After moment of silence, Tom Lehman condemns injustice in no uncertain terms

FORT WORTH, Texas – Two hours after play restarted on the PGA Tour at the Charles Schwab Challenge, the competition halted again for a moment of silence for George Floyd, whose death after being pinned to the ground by a Minneapolis police officer has prompted nationwide outrage and protests against racial injustice and police violence.

All week at Colonial and at the Korn Ferry Tour event at TPC Sawgrass, officials are setting aside the 8:46 a.m. tee time for a moment of silence to honor Floyd, who was under the Minneapolis police officer's knee for eight minutes, 46 seconds according to prosecutors.
