Thanks to private jet and narrow window, Abraham Ancer barley makes Genesis
LOS ANGELES – Abraham Ancer was originally scheduled to take a commercial flight from San Antonio to Los Angeles on Monday to play this week’s Genesis Invitational. That was before a winter storm blanketed Texas with snow.
“At some points I thought I was coming, at some points I was like, there's no chance I'm coming,” Ancer said following his opening round at Riviera Country Club.
With all commercial flights grounded because of the weather, Ancer turned to a friend with a private jet.
“We had a one- or two-hour gap to take off. Then while we took off, it got closed again,” he said, following his first-round 71. “We just found that little window to be able to take off.”
