Pga To Appeal Martin Ruling

The PGA Tour plans to ask the U.S. Supreme Court to decide whether Casey Martin should be allowed to ride a cart, Martin’s lawyer said.

Roy Reardon, who began working on the case after Martin won his lawsuit two years ago in federal court, said the PGA asked for a 60-day extension to file its motion with the Supreme Court and was given until July 5. Reardon said tour officials sent an application to Justice Sandra Day O’Connor in which they “now intend to file” a petition with the court.

Martin, a Stanford teammate of Tiger Woods, suffers from a rare circulatory disease in his right leg that makes it difficult for him to walk.
