My Posse's on Broadway

Broadway re-signs with The King's Court

With Sir Mix-A-Lot's classic rap anthem, "My Posse's on Broadway" playing in the background, Jackie King strode to the podium at today's King Invitational press conference to announce the return of Dru "The Hammer" Broadway to The King's Court.

Broadway, a sixth round selection in the 2009 King Invitational draft, returns to the King's Court roster for 2010 with a bit of heroism behind him. After blowing a four hole lead in match play versus The Hunt Club's Turtle Moore, Broadway entered last year's final round with confidence that was shuttered - at best.

But, paired with his team's most experienced player (Ted Prestwood), Broadway was able to control his nerves and relax enough to put himself in position to save his team from certain defeat. Heading to the 17th tee in their final round match vs. Chris Morris and Philip Brookshire, the Prestwood-Broadway duo needed to win the hole to guarantee victory in their match and ensure a tie for The King's Court.

With Prestwood's calming influence guiding him, Broadway unloaded a 305-yard drive that landed green side at the 17th, ensuring a par and a 2-up win for his team.

The King's Court, who had trailed the majority of the weekend, was able to rejoice at the 18th green when it was announced that Broadway's drive had sealed the win for his squad.

"Last year when I chose Dru it was specifically that type of scenario that I had in mind," said King. "His incredible length off the tee and ability to come through when needed most is invaluable."

Off the course, Broadway enjoyed a successful 2009 as the TGA President and has continued to earn the respect of his fellow golfers. Once considered a quiet follower, Broadway has become a leader on tour and is expected to provide The King's Court with some much needed leadership during this season's event."

King went on to say, "with the changes we are having this season with The King's Court, I expect Dru to be someone that provides a relaxing atmosphere for our guys. He has blossomed into a true leader and I expect that to show in his play this year in Charleston."
