For each of the past three days at the Sanderson Farms Championship, players were encouraged to wear particular colors, whether it was pink on Friday for breast cancer awareness or university colors on Saturday.
Yellow was Sunday’s color, specifically “Play Yellow,” which is a PGA Tour-backed initiative spearheaded by Jack Nicklaus and his wife, Barbara, that is designed to bring the entire golf world together to help the 10 million kids treated at local children’s hospitals each year.
For Sam Burns, who took the title Sunday at Country Club of Jackson, wearing yellow hit close to home.
