MEMPHIS, May 29 (UPI) -- Justin Leonard had a week's worst 3-over 73 Sunday but still, at 14-under 266, won the FedEx St. Jude Classic by one stroke over David Toms.

"I ought to write a book called 'Winning Ugly', because I've done it. I did it today," said Leonard, who earned $882,000. "I didn't think it was ever going to get that close."
