2021 Sanderson Farms Championship winner Sam Burns teed up a surprise visit to patients at the Center for Cancer and Blood Disorders at Children’s of Mississippi Thursday morning. Burns, currently ranked 12th in the Official World Golf Rankings, signed autographs and created golf-related art projects.
Burns then gave a few golfing pointers to children at the Sanderson Farms Championship Youth Clinic at the Country Club of Jackson. The 2022 Sanderson Farms Championship tournament week is set for Sept. 26 to Oct. 2. Earlier this year, tournament host Century Club Charities donated a record-breaking $1.5 million to benefit Children’s of Mississippi, which includes the state’s only children’s hospital.
