Will The Last Star Please Turn Out The Lights

This is a good day not to be promotions director of the Booz-Allen Classic, as we learn from Garcia Won't Play at Avenel:

An already star-starved Booz Allen Classic field took another hit yesterday when defending champion Sergio Garcia withdrew, citing a back injury.

Officials had banked on the 26-year-old Garcia to be one of the main draws in the tournament, which will start Thursday at the TPC Avenel....

Chris DiMarco, a member of the 2004 Ryder Cup team, also pulled out yesterday....

The way things are going, the most interesting storyline's going to be Big Break winner Justin Peters qualifying his way in.
