                               RESOLUTION


 
Congratulating Ben Curtis on his outstanding accomplishment in winning 
                 the 2003 British Open golf tournament.

Whereas Ben Curtis was a relatively unknown golfer before he arrived in Britain 
        for his first major tournament, the 2003 British Open, which was also 
        his first tournament on a links course;
Whereas Mr. Curtis's win at the 2003 British Open was the most unexpected and 
        unpredictable in the recent history of the 143-year-old event;
Whereas the mental toughness and physical ability displayed by Mr. Curtis are 
        the hallmarks of a true champion;
Whereas Mr. Curtis became the first golfer since 1913 to win a major tournament 
        on his first attempt;
Whereas Mr. Curtis made his family, the citizens of Ohio, and our Nation proud 
        with his outstanding performance; and
Whereas it is appropriate to recognize the important role that athletic events 
        play in American life: Now, therefore, be it
    Resolved, That the House of Representatives congratulates Ben 
Curtis on his outstanding accomplishment in winning the 2003 British 
Open golf tournament.
