Two-Time U.S. Open Winner, Lee Janzen Partners with Feed The Children

Sept. 23, 2008 - PRLog -- Janzen will travel to various Feed The Children food distribution events in the United States with Founder and President Larry Jones, and will also visit the Frances Jones Abandoned Baby Center, located in Nairobi, Kenya as part of a multi-year agreement to represent Feed The Children and raise awareness of hunger issues worldwide.

Since June, Janzen has been proudly displaying his support by wearing Feed The Children branded apparel at golf tournaments.

“We are incredibly thankful that Lee Janzen has partnered with Feed The Children,” said Larry Jones. “His compassion and gracious support will go a long way to help children and families in need worldwide.”

“To be involved with Feed The Children is amazing. My family and I are excited about being a part of reaching out to those in need and our hope is to help Feed The Children assist even more children and families” said Janzen.

“We are proud to be partnered with such a meaningful organization,” adds Janzen’s agent Tommy Limbaugh, President of 4U Management, LLC.

Janzen has won eight times on the PGA Tour, most notably the 1993 and 1998 U.S. Open. In 1993, Janzen defeated Payne Stewart at the Baltusrol Golf Club in Springfield, New Jersey, en route to tying the 72-hole U.S. Open scoring record of 8-under par. Five years later, Janzen again bested Stewart to win his second U.S. Open, this time at the Olympic Club in San Francisco. Janzen came from five shots behind on Sunday, marking the best final-round comeback since 1973.
