Major Championship winners Lee Janzen and John Daly are in the field for the Turning Stone Resort Championship. Both players have accepted sponsor exemptions to compete in the PGA TOUR event, scheduled for Sept. 17-23 at the Oneida Nation's Atunyote Golf Club. Janzen has eight victories on Tour, including U.S. Open Championships in 1993 and 1998 and The 1995 PLAYERS Championship. He put the Turning Stone Resort Championship on his schedule after hearing rave reviews from players who were introduced to the venue at last year's B.C. Open Presented by Turning Stone.

Growing up, Lee Janzen was an avid baseball player. But when his parents moved to Florida, he enrolled in a junior golf clinic and quickly excelled at the sport. Baseball’s loss has been the PGA Tour’s gain, as Janzen is one of the rarefied few to have won the U.S. Open, golf’s toughest major, twice. He ... has won the Players Championship and a slew of other high-profile Tour events, including the Phoenix Open and Buick Classic.

Charles Howell III and Lee Janzen (Isleworth) were down early against Ian Poulter and Annika Sorenstam (Lake Nona), but both climbed back and were a combined six under through five holes on the back nine. Sorenstam was playing admirably well - and from the same tees as the men, a brutal test at 7,500 yards - until a bogey at the short par-4 sixteenth sent her in the wrong direction. Howell and Janzen carded 72 and 70, respectively, to take four points from Poulter (74) and Sorenstam (73).

Not being told that that was a penalty left Janzen thinking he was inside the cut limit when he birdied the last hole. In fact, he had no chance of qualifying on the last tee.
