Appleby buys 'golf home' on Honolua Ridge

By Doug Ferguson
Associated Press

KAPALUA — Stuart Appleby has won three straight years at the Mercedes-Benz Championship, and it reached the point that people said he ought to buy property.

So he did.

Appleby purchased a lot on Honolua Ridge and plans to build a home, joining Jim Furyk as past champions (Furyk won in 2001) with homes at Kapalua.

"It's an amazing piece of property," Appleby said. "It's not my home, but it's become my golf home in a way. Half of my victories have come out of this sections of the woods, so it was a no-brainer."
