    Description

    The
    Pennsylvania Classic
    was a
    golf
    tournament on the
    PGA Tour
    , held from
    2000
    through
    2006
    at three different
    Pennsylvania
    courses. The event's final title sponsor was lumber company
    84 Lumber
    . The host course from 2003 to 2006 was
    Mystic Rock
    near
    Farmington
    , designed by
    Pete Dye
    and part of the
    Nemacolin Woodlands Resort
    , owned by 84 Lumber founder
    Joseph Hardy
    .
    Before the move to Mystic Rock, it was played outside
    Philadelphia
    in 2000 and 2002 at
    Waynesborough
    Country Club in
    Paoli
    , with the
    2001
    event at
    Laurel Valley Golf Club
    in
    Ligonier
    .
    The 2001 event was the first PGA Tour tournament staged after the
    September 11, 2001 attacks
    ; that year's venue, Laurel Valley, was about 40 miles (64 km) west of
    Shanksville, Pennsylvania
    , where
    United Airlines Flight 93
    went down. The hole flags used during the tournament were
    American flags
    .

    Teenager
    Michelle Wie
    accepted an invitation by Wie family friend and 84 Lumber owner Joe Hardy to play in the 2006 tournament. It was her sixth attempt to make a cut in a PGA Tour event and third attempt in 2006.

    It was expected that Wie's involvement would help draw fans to the event. Wie shot 14 over par over the first two rounds, finishing 23 strokes behind the leaders and last among all competitors who completed two rounds.
    The 84 Lumber Company announced in April 2006 that it would no longer host the Classic.

    Hardy's daughter, Maggie, explained the situation as the sponsorship of tournament being unfair to the thousands of 84 Lumber employees who had recently been laid off, and also unnecessary because the purpose of the tournament was to entertain clients — which the company could do at any other golf tournament.
