• Golf has been an integral component in St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital’s mission to find cures and save children. Since 1970 when St. Jude became the tournament’s sole beneficiary, more than $23.3 million has been generated to help the fight against catastrophic childhood diseases.
forcing him to pitch back into the fairway before hitting his approach to 13 feet. He missed, Westwood and Karlsson made pars, and Garrigus’ day was done. “I know I played better than they all did in the field.
It’s all right,” said Garrigus. “I’m going to go on from this week, and we’ll be good.” Meanwhile, back to the playoff, where Westwood and
Karlsson went par-par-bogey—although Karlsson had a chance to win on the third playoff hole but missed a five-footer for par. “I didn’t hit a good putt,” said Karlsson. “You can’t
take any chances with so many good players.” Returning to No. 18 for the fourth playoff hole,
Westwood hit a fine approach to six feet while Karlsson left himself a 43-footer. To his credit, he ran his approach putt to within a foot but then looked on hopelessly as Westwood ran in his birdie putt. “It’s amazing how things eventually pan out,” said
Westwood, who began the final round three strokes off the pace but eventually took the lead with three birdies on the first four holes. But just when it looked as though he might have the tournament locked up, he bogeyed No. 17. Happily, he decided to stay around and watch the last group finish. The victory gave Westwood a shot of confidence
going into the next week’s U.S. Open. “I like being competitive before a major championship,
to be competitive with the tournament and boost my confidence,” said Westwood, who hadn’t missed a cut in his 10 starts coming into Memphis and, with his win, gave himself a chance to become just the eighth player in history to win the week prior to the Open and then go on to win the Open. A win at the Open, by the way, would help shed a
dubious distinction from Westwood’s resume: He is the only player in history to finish in the Top-3 in all four major championships without winning any of them. ■

• Foremost among the hospital’s proudest success stories are the advancements made in treating acute lymphoblastic leukemia, the most common form of childhood leukemia. In 1962 when the hospital first opened, less than four percent of those children diagnosed with this type of leukemia survived. Today the survival rate stands at more than 90 percent.
Course Insight: TPC Southwind
“IT’S AMAZING HOW THINGS EVENTUALLY PAN OUT.”
— Lee Westwood The ninth hole at TPC Southwind.
A lot of people have left their fingerprints at TPC Southwind.
1 The Villegas brothers, Camilo
and Manny, played in last year’s St. Jude Classic presented by
Smith & Nephew. It marked the first time the brothers had played
together in the same TOUR event.
Golf course architect Ron Prichard produced the original layout for TPC Southwind with help from former U.S. Open champions Hubert Green and Fuzzy Zoeller.
In 2004, Tennessee native Loren Roberts oversaw a renovation that saw a wealth of trees removed in order to improve the playability and shot lines. The rough was seeded with fescue grass to make it more punishing and the greens were also re-seeded to resist the brutal summer heat and humidity in Memphis.
One of the more fearsome holes on the course is the 231-yard, par-3 14th hole, which requires most players to hit either long irons or, more likely, hybrids.
