Jack Nicklaus plays in pro-am benefiting schools in Detroit

GROSSE POINTE FARMS, Mich. (AP) - Jack Nicklaus has participated in a pro-am golf tournament and dinner that helped raise nearly $3.3 million for schools in Detroit.

Cornerstone Schools said it had hoped to bring in $3 million from Monday's tournament, which was headlined by the golf great at the Country Club of Detroit in Grosse Pointe Farms. A dinner was Sunday.

The Turning Point Invitational is an annual event that started in 2004. More than 2,800 students are enrolled in preschool through 12th grade at one independent and four charter schools. Plans call for increasing the number of students to 5,000 at the not-for-profit schools.
