NICKLAUS PREDICTED AN EVENTUAL VICTORY “To win here at the Memorial, at Jack’s tournament, I couldn’t think of a better place to win my first tournament,” said Rose, who revealed that two years earlier Nicklaus had predicted that he would win the tournament someday, and probably sooner rather than later. Rose had to battle Rickie Fowler for the win. The
29-year-old Brit helped his chances with three straight birdies on the front side and then took advantage of a crucial error by Fowler, whose 5-iron tee shot on the par- 3 12th hole found the water and led to a double bogey that cost him the lead for the first time in 48 holes, broke his momentum and probably his concentration as well. He had to settle for a 73 to finish three strokes back. Fowler played well on the front side but ran into trouble after the turn, driving into a bunker on No. 10 that led to a bogey, laid up in the rough on the par-5 11th that led to a par on what should have been a birdie opportunity, and then sealed his fate on No. 12. “I just made a bad swing and paid for it,” said Fowler,
whose runner-up finish was his second of the season. Rose got a scare when he heard cheers coming from
the 15th hole. The question was whether they were for Fowler or his playing partner, Ricky Barnes. Just to be on the safe side, he prepared himself for the possibility they were for Fowler but, as it turned out, they were for Barnes, who had made an eagle. “I thought, ‘OK, here we go. This is dead even.’ So I
knew the putt that I made at 16 was key, and that was the only sort of fist pump that I showed all day,” said Rose, a veteran of a Ryder Cup team and two World Cups. “Because I just felt like it swung the momentum back my way.” Rose was quick to point out just how important it was
for him to win on TOUR. “Until you win over here, you don’t feel like you’ve really
achieved all you want to in the game,” said Rose. “But it’s about winning worldwide, too.” ■

Charity Link
• The Memorial Tournament’s primary benefactor is Nationwide Children’s Hospital. In 2010 the tournament raised approximately $1 million in support of Nationwide Children’s Hospital, The First Tee, Fore Hope, James Cancer Hospital, Lions Club, Shriners and the Central Ohio Junior Golf Association, among others.
• In addition, in June of 2010, an alliance among the tournament, Nationwide Children’s Hospital and the Nicklaus Children’s Heath Care Foundation was formed and a new partner in the Memorial’s legacy of giving was established.

Course Insight:
Muirfield Village Golf Club
One year at the Masters, Jack Nicklaus was talking with some friends as he gazed out from the veranda to the large galleries.
“Wouldn’t it be great to have something like this in Columbus,” Nicklaus said, referring to his Ohio hometown.
And so the idea for the Memorial Tournament was born, and while there were plenty of outstanding golf courses in the Columbus area, Nicklaus determined that he would grace the area with a masterpiece of his own creation. He began the design in partnership with architect Desmond Muirhead but soon took over the controls. He named the course Muirfield Village after the Muirfield Golf Club in Scotland, the site of his first British Open victory.
Nicklaus has done countless outstanding designs over the years, but he takes almost a parental interest in Muirfield Village, making changes and revisions as he deems necessary. This will include a revision of the par-3 16th hole in time for the 2011 Memorial Tournament.
