Featured Columnist Andy Reistetter is on site at the Crowne Plaza Invitational at Colonial Country Club in Fort Worth, Texas.  

The weatherman posted some pretty impressive high numbers during the four rounds at Colonial.

 

The high temperatures were 93 on Thursday, 95 on Friday, 94 on Saturday and 93 on Sunday.
