When it comes to a cool, calm, collected individual... that is how I would describe Hazeltine National Golf Club superintendent, Chris Tritabaugh. I have watched Chris operate for nearly a week now and even though the biggest stage in golf is being played on the golf course he manages, he appears unfazed by the pressure. Maybe there is no pressure on him? Maybe his complete confidence in his staff is the reason? Whatever it is, it's refreshing.

Chris was so kind to give me a few minutes out of his busy schedule to chat about the last four years getting Hazeltine ready for the world's stage. Take a listen and I think you'll understand my assessment of Chris in the above writings...
