New LPGA commissioner Michael Whan made a large impression on Tournament Owners Association members in his first meeting with them Thursday morning at the Rancho Bernardo Inn at San Diego. He did so by giving out his cell phone number and e-mail address to TOA members at the end of his 20-minute speech. It was a profound act in front of a membership that felt communication was a problem under the tour's previous regime. TOA members were also impressed that Whan flew cross country Wednesday night to be with them after being introduced as the LPGA's eighth commissioner in a morning news conference in New York City. He joined about 50 tournament owners and title sponsors for breakfast Thursday morning, hopping from table to table before speaking to the entire membership.

90% of my money I spend on booze and women. The rest I just spend wastefully.
