St. Jude Classic Tournament History

This tournament was founded in 1958 as the Memphis Open and was played annually at Colonial Country Club, first in Memphis, then later in Cordova, Tennessee until 1989.

In 1969, actor Danny Thomas agreed to lend his name to the tournament in exchange for making his St. Jude Children's Research Hospital the tournament's official charity.

In 2009, the tournament changed its name to St. Jude Classic following Stanford's financial difficulties.

TPC Southwind Club

The private, 18-hole championship golf course was designed by Ron Prichard in consultation with Hubert Green and Fuzzy Zoeller.

The course opened in 1988 and belongs to the Tournament Players Club network operated by the PGA Tour.

2011 St. Jude Classic Winner - Harrison Frazar Wins 1st PGA Tour Victory On 3rd Playoff Hole

Entering the 18th hole on Sunday afternoon, Harrison Frazar had a one-stroke lead over Robert Karlsson at 14-under. A bogey moved Frazar back to 13-under and in a playoff with Karlsson. After they both birdied the first two holes, the third extra hole came to the par-4 12th. Frazar made par and then saw Karlsson miss the hole on his par putt for the victory, his first on the PGA Tour.

Frazar started the day one stroke behind Karlsson at 10-under and made three birdies on the front nine. After a birdie on the 11th hole, Frazar moved into a tie with Karlsson, who made four birdies and one bogey on the front nine. Both played steady on the back nine until the final holes. Karlsson wound up bogeying the 17th hole, but it was Frazar who dropped the ball on the 18th. He really did need to drop the ball, as he hit it in the water for a one-stroke penalty. He wound up bogeying the hole while Karlsson saved par to force a playoff.

Camilo Villegas fired the lowest score of the round with a 6-under, though Tim Herron was right behind him with a 5-under. Lee Westwood, the world's No. 2 golfer, finished at No. 11. He finished at 6-under for the tournament, 4-under for the day.
