LAKE BUENA VISTA, Fla. -- First, the bad news.PGA Tour rookie Troy Merritt recently returned to his new home in Phoenix after time on the road and received a less than warming welcome.
"A first as a new home owner," he said. "We got back and found that our water heater had leaked and broke and got the dry wall all wet and we had mold everywhere."
Now the good news.
Last year's PGA Tour qualifying school winner from Boise State arrives for this week's Children's Miracle Network Classic in position to handle all necessary repair bills without sweat.
"I'm well aware of what's going on," he said.
That would be Merritt sitting on the edge of a $1 million windfall.
Heading into the 2010 PGA Tour season's final event played at Disney World, the 25-year-old Merritt leads fellow rookie Rickie Fowler and veteran Aaron Baddeley by one stroke in the $1 million Kodak Challenge bonus race.
The Kodak Challenge is a season-long competition that consists of 30 designated holes from courses on the PGA Tour schedule. Golfers must play at least 18 of them with their best scores recorded for a cumulative total.
