BREAK IN TRANSCRIPT

Mr. FRY. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to recognize the inaugural Myrtle Beach Classic Golf Tournament, which was held in Myrtle Beach, South Carolina, this past May.

The Grand Strand's first-ever PGA tour event was a monumental success, drawing more than 40,000 spectators, over a thousand volunteers, and 132 players.

On Saturday, May 11, the tournament broke the PGA attendance record for a first-year event, serving as a reminder that Myrtle Beach is, indeed, the golf capital of the world.

I congratulate Chris Gotterup for taking the title of the first-ever winner of the Myrtle Beach Classic, which was also his first-ever PGA title.

I am excited to see the continued success of the Myrtle Beach Classic for years to come.
