Kapalua doesn’t get big galleries because of its location on the west end of Maui. Not many go to Disney in the early part of the week. Most of them are at Sea World or the Magic Kingdom…The AT&T National is different. It typically draws enormous crowds, especially this weekend with [Tiger] Woods in the hunt.” [ESPN]
