CA Tees Up Second Round of Course Reporters Program

Three Young Golf Fans to Cover 2009 CA Championship From Tee to Green and Beyond

MIAMI – CA, Inc. (NASDAQ: CA), the world’s leading independent IT management software company, today announced this year’s participants in the CA Course Reporters Program at the 2009 World Golf Championships – CA Championship, at Doral Golf Resort & Spa in Doral, Fla., from March 12-15, 2009. The CA Course Reporters program gives three deserving youths from The First Tee’s National Scholar program the opportunity to become the eyes and ears of the WGC – CA Championship for golf fans all around the world and share their unique experiences through their own blog at www.WorldGolfChampionships.com.

Through its growing partnerships with The First Tee, CA has enlisted three youths who display a passion for the game of golf and outstanding scholastic achievement to help tell the story of the 2009 CA Championship to other young golf fans. Courtney Burris (Springdale, Ark.), Owais Durrani (Houston, Texas), and Johnie Freatman (Mercer Island, Wash.) will make up the CA corps of reporters who will delve into every aspect of the tournament from interviewing the on-site meteorologist to re-gripping golf clubs. In addition, the kids will walk the course during the tournament and report on the play of the game’s best golfers during their quest to tame the legendary “Blue Monster"

“The CA Course Reporters program is a great way to help teach kids the values, character and skills needed to be successful both on and off the course,” said Bill Hughes, senior vice president, Corporate Communications for CA. “The First Tee works extremely hard in making a difference in the lives of youths, and the opportunity to work with them on this program is an unforgettable experience. The CA corps of reporters’ unique coverage and firsthand experience of the tournament will give young golf fans everywhere instant access and a refreshing one-of-a-kind look into a world-class golf event.”

Along with help from the PGA TOUR and pgatour.com, the course reporters will post entries to their blog beginning with coverage of the practice rounds and player press conferences on Wednesday, March 11, and will report through the conclusion of the 2009 CA Championship on Sunday, March 15. Over the course of the tournament, the kids also will have the opportunity to meet and learn from several members of the golf media who will share some of the tricks of the trade when it comes to gaining insight into what it’s like to cover a pro golf event from the smallest details to the trophy presentation on Sunday evening.

Here is a look at the three CA Course Reporters:

* Courtney Burris, a senior at Har-Ber High School in Springdale, Ark., has been a member of The First Tee of Northwest Arkansas since its inception in 2005.
