Billy Hurley III looking to gain momentum
Defending champion Billy Hurley III, an Annapolis resident, speaks at a news conference on Tuesday at TPC Potomac, site of this week’s Quicken Loans National. At left is Greg Ball of Brener Zwikel & Associates PR. (Bill Wagner/Staff) Billy Hurley was surrounded by a captive audience and under pressure to perform. The Naval Academy graduate was participating in the Shot for Heroes kickoff event for the Quicken Loans National.
Hurley needed to land a shot on a target 95 yards away in order to earn $250 donations to Operation Home Front and the Tiger Woods Foundation. Hurley smoothly swung a pitching wedge and landed the ball on the Q insignia for Quicken Loans, only a few feet from the hole.
