WINNER DUSTIN JOHNSON
NOTES: Dustin Johnson won the FedEx St. Jude Classic on Sunday in his second event after a back injury cost him nearly three months away from the PGA TOUR, shooting a 4-under 66 that held off John Merrick by a stroke
Johnson pulled a muscle in his lower right back in early March lifting a jet ski at his home, and rest was the biggest part of his prescription for healing. He didn't return to the TOUR until last week at the Memorial Tournament presented by Nationwide Insurance, where he tied for 19th.
He began the final round two strokes back and held a piece of the lead three different times. He won his sixth career title with consecutive birdies on Nos. 16 and 17 and finished 9-under 271. Johnson said he didn't look at the leaderboard, trying to stay focused on himself.
Rory McIlroy had a two-stroke lead all to himself after four birdies through 11 holes and appeared headed to the win. But he finished with two bogeys then his first double bogey in two trips to Memphis on No. 18 after hooking his 3-wood off the tee just a bit too much.
For a man who had missed three straight cuts coming to Memphis, McIlroy said he feels well prepared going into the U.S. Open after playing four straight rounds.
"Looking forward to getting to San Francisco, and I can take a lot from this week into next week," McIlroy said

WINNER SHANSHAN FENG
NOTES: Shanshan Feng inched her way up the leader board on Sunday to become the first-ever player from mainland China to win an LPGA event. The 22-year-old birdied the 17th hole to give her a two-stroke lead over Mika Miyazato, Suzann Pettersen, Mika Miyazato, Stacy Lewis and and Eun-Hee Ji, claiming the $375,000 prize. She also becomes the third Rolex First-Time Winner of 2012, joining Rolex Rankings No. 18 Azahara Munoz (Sybase Match Play) and No. 81 Jessica Korda (Honda LPGA Thailand), and is the seventh player to record her first LPGA victory at the LPGA Championship.
Feng entered the final round just three strokes off leader Eun-Hee Ji’s pace with 1-under, sharing seventh place with seven others. She slowly inched her way up the leader board, posting five birdies and no bogeys on Sunday. The four-year veteran on tour is projected to jump from No. 10 to No. 4 in the Rolex Women’s World Golf Rankings (lpgatour.com)

NOTES: WESTWOOD WINS
europeantour.com Lee Westwood won his third Nordea Masters title in resounding fashion with a five shot triumph at Bro Hof Slott.
The World Number Three was simply irresistible from tee to green all week, and could even afford to miss five putts from inside six feet over the first ten holes of his closing 69.
That only one of those led to a bogey said everything about Westwood’s sumptuous approach play – the Englishman looking in commanding form as he prepares to make his 57th attempt at a first Major Championship victory at next week’s US Open.

Lehman withstood both to win his second straight Regions Tradition, finishing the Champions Tour major with a 4-under 68 on Sunday to take a two-stroke victory
Lehman overcame a near-constant drizzle and occasional heavy rain at Shoal Creek -- plus hard charges by Bernhard Langer and Chien Soon Lu -- for his sixth Champions Tour victory. He finished at 14-under 274. Langer and Lu shot 66 to tie for second (pgatour.com)

Renfrew and the 67 other players to make the cut battled windy conditions all day on the par 70, 6,500-yard Uplands Golf Course. Winds gusted up to 40 km/h according to Environment Canada in Victoria which didn't seem to bother Renfrew. (cantour.com)

NOTES Englishman Paul Wesselingh produced a stunning stretch of four consecutive birdies to claim his maiden European Senior Tour title in the ISPS Handa PGA Seniors Championship, as Andrew Oldcorn’s battling defence came up just short.
Wesselingh, who gained his Senior Tour card by finishing second at Qualifying School in February, started the day four shots behind second round leader Mark James at De Vere Slaley Hall, but produced a superb back nine en route to a closing five under par 67 to finish on six under par 210.
With former Ryder Cup Captain James only able to manage a two over par 74 to finish three shots back in fourth place, Wesselingh’s main threat came from James’ playing partners, defending champion Oldcorn, who won by nine shots last year, and Swede Anders Forsbrand (europeantour.com)
