6 PLAYERS News and Notes Tiger Woods withdrew from THE PLAYERS Championship following his opening nine holes Thursday. He shot a 6-over 42 on the front nine at THE PLAYERS Stadium Course. Woods has a medial collateral ligament sprain in his left knee and a left-achilles tendon strain. Woods 42 is his highest ninehole score at THE PLAYERS. Of To shoot 64 Thursday, 64 first-round leader Nick Watney had an eagle and nine birdies to go with a bogey and a double bogey. His was the 15th 64 in tournament history, one stroke off THE PLAYERS record of 63 held by Fred Couples and Greg Norman. Prior to this season, Watney had played in four PLAYERS Championships, making the cut twice. His best performance was a tie for 17th last year, and his previous-low round was the thirdround 68 he shot in It had been eight years since Mark O Meara last appeared in THE PLAYERS. By virtue of his win last year at the Champions Tour s Constellation Energy Senior Players Championship, the 54-year-old O Meara earned a spot in this year s field and made a successful return to TPC Sawgrass Thursday. He shot a 6-under 66 and is in third place, two strokes those who have won THE PLAYERS Championship since the event moved to TPC Sawgrass in 1982, only nine have carded a firstround score of 70 or higher and gone on to win. The most recent to do it was Stephen Ames in 2006 when he shot a 1-under 71 in the first round. behind Nick Watney. The last time O Meara, 54, a two-time Champions Tour winner, had a round in the 60s at TPC Sawgrass was in 2000 when he shot a final-round 67. His best finish in 23 previous PLAYERS starts was a third-place showing in That year, O Meara entered the final round tied for the lead with Sandy Lyle. A Sunday 73 derailed O Meara s chances, with Lyle eventually defeating Jeff Sluman in a playoff. Brian Gay recorded the 21st PLAYERS Championship eagle on the par-4 12th hole and the first since Bob Tway holed out in Gay drained his approach shot from 91 yards for his second eagle of the year. That was the good. As for the bad? Gay only needed a par on the 18th hole to shoot a 67. Instead, he made quadruple bogey on the second-toughest hole to settle for a 1-under 71. While four past champions Davis Love III (68), David Duval (70), Justin Leonard (70) and Phil Mickelson (71) were under par Thursday, six other former champions didn t fare as well at THE PLAYERS.

12 Blue Coat Memories: Robert Davis My favorite PLAYERS memory is a hard one. My father, Don Davis, is a Past Chairman (1988) and was the general manager of the Deerwood Country Club during the Greater Jacksonville Opens there. So I have been around the tournament since I moved away from Jacksonville for many years after college and was not involved in the tournament during the 1980s and early 90s. In 1993, I was able to attend THE PLAYERS on several of the days and went with my father on Sunday for the final round. We followed Nick Price as he shot a 67 to win by five shots. After the round, we went to the volunteer headquarters where the champion traditionally makes an appearance after the trophy presentation and media interviews. I vividly remember sitting with my father who passed away two years ago and hearing Nick address the volunteers, telling them how excited he was to win and how sincere he sounded as he expressed his appreciation for all of the volunteers efforts and hard work. What I also remember was that once he was done speaking, he stayed for well over an hour, ate and drank, signed anything and everything he was asked to, posed for pictures and talked to all the volunteers. That was really the moment for me when I knew I wanted and needed to get back involved with THE PLAYERS because of what it means to this community and the more than 2,000 volunteers who make it happen every year. The volunteer leadership for THE PLAYERS can be identified by their trademark blue blazers, earning them the moniker Blue Coats. In 2011, five Vice Chairs, along with Tournament Chairman Jim Fuller, lead the 2,000-plus volunteer force of the event. They are: First Vice Chairman Curtis Hazel and Vice Chairs Robert Davis, Andy Baggs, Brian Franco and Michele McManamon. Tebow s Charity Tournament a Big Hit with Fans F or four years with the Florida Gators, Tim Tebow thrilled college football fans with the exciting way he played quarterback. It was a method that eventually led to him winning the Heisman Trophy. Tebow has now put his unique stamp on something else this time his charity golf tournament, the Tim Tebow Foundation Celebrity Golf Classic that was held May 7 at Dye s Valley Course. Tebow, who finished his rookie year with the Denver Broncos in 2010, hosted the traditional 18-hole golf tournament last week. However, it was what some of the 18 holes featured Tebow s twists, as it were that set this event apart. The tournament included food stops, non-golf athletic competitions among the players and, in some instances, the opportunity for spectators to join the action. On the 10th hole, for instance, celebrity players grabbed a basketball and shot free throws. If they made the shot, they could take one stroke off their golf score. The 14th hole was timed, with awards given to the player who played it the fastest. I like to have fun out on the golf course, and the 18-hole skills challenge went a long way to keep everyone loose out there and ensured that all of us the participants and the spectators spent the day having a great time, Tebow said. An estimated 1,000 fans paid to watch Tebow, former Florida football coach Urban Meyer, Minnesota Viking All-Pro running back Adrian Peterson and Jaguars quarterback David Garrard, among other celebrities. Funds generated from the first annual tournament went to the Tim Tebow Foundation and The First Tee. 12

When It Gets Hotter, Drink More Water By Dr. Jeffrey Smowton Baptist Medical Center Beaches and THE PLAYERS Medical Services Director Dehydration is the most common reason for medical intervention at THE PLAYERS Championship. It can be easily prevented. Avoid dehydration by drinking plenty of water during the day from water fountains throughout the course. Dry mouth, fatigue, headaches and dizziness could be signs of dehydration. Be sure to drink water at least once an hour. Providing a free in-home consultation and using state-of-theart digital-measuring technology, JELD-WEN The Perfect Fit is a quick, affordable, and hassle-free way to change the look of every room in your home.

With high temperatures expected to reach well into the 90s this week, it s important to still take care of ourselves while watching the best golfers in the world compete in THE PLAYERS Championship. Here are a few tips: Protecting yourself from the sun also helps avoid dehydration. Don t forget to wear a hat, sunglasses and apply sunscreen while outdoors. Whenever possible, take a break in the shade to cool off. When keeping yourself hydrated in warm weather, drink cool water vs. cold water as the body absorbs cool water faster. University of North Florida Students Volunteer Spotlight Student leaders from University of North Florida s fraternity and sorority communities can be found welcoming guests at each gate today. These students are active on the First Coast, working in many ways to improve the quality of life for others through their civic engagement. Their dedication as leaders is illustrated in their actions and words. The partnership between members of the UNF fraternities and sororities and THE PLAYERS works because the students are honored to have the opportunity to become involved in the community in this capacity. UNF has 24 fraternities and sororities, with more than 1,200 members. The values the organizations share are leadership, scholarship, philanthropic service and brotherhood/sisterhood. At UNF, all students are encouraged to take part in transformational learning opportunities. For members, that often means volunteering their time, energy and talents in ways that help others while building leaders. For other UNF students, that can mean travel abroad or working on research projects with professors even as undergraduates.
