INCLINE VILLAGE, NV (Sept 25, 2005) -- Golf lost a legend,
as George Archer passed away Sunday after a long battle
with Burkitts Lymphoma. The San Francisco native won his
first PGA Tour event at Harding Park, so players competiting
in the World Golf Championship there October 4-7 will definitely
walk the fairways of Harding Park thinking about the legend,
known for being one of the best putters in PGA Tour history.
A memorial service is planned Oct. 25 in Gilroy, California.
