New Zealander Steven Alker is enjoying playing golf at Firestone Country Club for the first time.
Alker spoke Friday about the first time he visited Akron and walked the famed South Course — as a spectator in the late 1990s.
“Funny enough, a buddy of mine, Phil Tataurangi, who used to play the [PGA] Tour, I think he played here a couple times in the World event,” Alker said Friday after posting a 4-under 66 in the second round of the Bridgestone Senior Players Championship.
