## Resource

He is the only full-blooded American Indian to ever play on the PGA TOUR, and he won four times, all within a span of nine months. And while back injuries derailed the playing career of Notah Begay III, they hardly kept him from the much larger role he continues to play in the lives of so many young people on the golf course and far beyond. All of that wonderful labor of love has led Notah, who played with Tiger Woods at Stanford University, to earning the treasured Payne Stewart Award presented by Southern Company. Join Notah as we discuss the Award, his outstanding work at NBC Sports and Golf Channel, and what his Foundation continues to accomplish. Plus, we look at the amazing victory by Jackson Koivun on Sunday at the PGA TOUR'S 3M Open.
