Hillmer, who was actually employed by the Mission to pull the event together, told the organization earlier on Wednesday that he’d just picked up Stricker from the airport and that the Wisconsin native was resting comfortably at a hotel. He'd been in touch with Branagan repeatedly over the last month as well. According to the event schedule, Stricker was supposed to play golf with Branagan on Wednesday, then host a short-game clinic and meet-and-greet with all the donors.
