Innisbrook does tour hat trick

Innisbrook has snagged the Symetra Tour's inaugural IOA Golf Classic, making the Palm Harbor resort the only one in the country to host the PGA Tour, Symetra and Legends Tour.

Symetra, which is the Ladies Professional Golf Association's official developmental tour, hasn't had a tournament in the Tampa Bay area since 1997. It has 15 tournaments this year, including the Aug. 9-11 event at Innisbrook in Palm Harbor.

The only other Symetra tournaments in Florida were earlier in the year at Sarasota's Sara Bay Country Club and Winter Haven's Lake Region Yacht & Country Club.
