The home of Pat Henggeler backs up to the 16th tee box at Colonial Country Club in Fort Worth, Texas. Henggeler and his son, Sean, usually attend the tournament, but since no fans were allowed they built a grandstand to watch the tournament. They were among the "first fans" to witness a live major sporting event since the start of the pandemic.

Social distancing was encouraged.
