Lee Westwood won the St. Jude Classic for his second career PGA Tour victory and first since 1998, beating Swede Robert Karlsson on the fourth hole of a sudden-death playoff Sunday at Memphis, Tenn.
The Englishman became the first European to win the tour's third-longest event only after Robert Garrigus blew a three-stroke lead on the final hole of regulation with a triple bogey. He bogeyed the first playoff hole.
Westwood and Karlsson went par-par-bogey until they returned to No. 18 once again. Westwood stuck his approach 6 feet from the pin on No. 18. Karlsson left his birdie putt from 43 feet away to extend the playoff about a foot short.

Armstrong struggles in rain
Lance Armstrong says he just isn't the rider he used to be when it comes to rain-slickened roads. He says he's gotten more cautious on them the older he gets.
The 38-year-old Texan said Sunday that recent wrist fractures of two RadioShack teammates following crashes partly explain why he rode gingerly on wet roads in the Tour de Switzerland prologue at Sierre, Switzerland.
