U.S. AIR FORCE ACADEMY, Colo. – Air Force sophomore Brooks Morell has been selected to compete in the Patriot All-America Invitational, Dec. 29-31, at the Wigwam Golf Resort in Litchfield Park, Ariz.
The Patriot All-America Invitational, features PING All-Americans from the previous season in NCAA Divisions I, II and III, the NAIA, NJCAA and AJGA ranks as well as international team members, and special invitees.
The 54-hole amateur event held at the Wigwam Resort is the first of its kind to combine the talents of 150 nationally recognized players (84 men and 66 women) in a holiday bowl-like experience. It is the combined effort of the Arizona Golf Association, the West Valley Mavericks, the Golf Coaches Association of America, the Women’s Golf Coaches Association and the Wigwam Golf Resort in conjunction with the tournament’s beneficiary, the Folds of Honor Foundation.
The unique aspect of this Championship is that the players also honor our military heroes. In fact, that is the foundation of this event. At the opening ceremony, each golfer receives and carries a commemorative PING golf bag that bears the name, rank and branch of a fallen or wounded hero. Additionally, all of the golfers have the opportunity to visit Luke Air Force Base, the training center for our nation’s F-16 and F-35 fighter pilots.
