Lee Westwood, the No. 2-ranked player in the world, defends his title at the FEDEX ST. JUDE CLASSIC this week as he takes on many of the world's top-ranked players preparing for next week's U.S. Open, including two-time FedEx St. Jude Classic winner David Toms, Retief Goosen, Geoff Ogilvy, Brandt Snedeker, Anthony Kim, Camilo Villegas and Sergio Garcia.
The FedEx St. Jude Classic will be played at TPC Southwind in Memphis, Tenn., for the 23rd consecutive year. CBS Sports will cover all the action from the TPC Southwind with third and final-round coverage of the St. Jude Classic on Saturday, June 11 and Sunday, June 12 (3:00-6:00 PM, ET, both days), live on the CBS Television Network.
Bill Macatee and Ian Baker-Finch provide commentary and analysis from the 18th tower. Gary McCord calls the action at the 17th hole and Peter Kostis at the 16th hole and serves as on-course reporter.
Lance Barrow is Coordinating Producer, CBS Sports' Golf. Jim Rikhoff will produce and Chris Svendsen will direct CBS Sports' coverage of the St. Jude Classic.
Last year, Westwood forced a playoff with third-round leader Robert Garrigus and Robert Karlsson. He went on to beat Karlsson on the fourth playoff hole, the longest in FedEx St. Jude Classic history. Westwood looks to become the first player to successfully defend here since Toms in 2004 as he takes on a field that includes Toms in his 20th career start at the Fedex St. Jude Classic, Snedeker, former Vanderbilt All-American, Goosen, Ogilvy, Kim, Villegas, Garcia, Karlsson, Garrigus, Robert Allenby, Zach Johnson, Jonathan Byrd, Padraig Harrington, Steve Marino, Keegan Bradley, Scott Verplank, Stuart Appleby, Jhonattan Vegas, Boo Weekley, Jason Bohn, Michael Bradley, Kevin Stadler, Tim Herron, Chez Reavie, Tom Pernice, Jr., Ryuji Imada, John Daly and other past St. Jude Classic winners Brian Gay, Len Mattiace, Woody Austin and Bob Estes.
