Mostly due to costs of hospitalization, heart failurecosts have been estimated to amount to more than $35 billion in the United States.Although some patients survive many years, progressive disease is associated with an overall annual mortality rateof 10 percent. Most patients with CHF end up back in the hospital, and 20 percent of patients are likely readmittedwithin 30 days.At Virginia Mason, The Heart Institute is actively working to take better care of patients with CHF beyond the wallsof the hospital. Using an integrated electronic medical record and coordinating care across primary care andcardiology, The Heart Institute is providing patients with a more reliable system of care to decrease mortality andhospital readmission.Enhancements are also being made in staffing to improve care for this challenging condition. The Heart Institutenow employs a cardiologist whose specialty is heart failure.

The 2006 and 2008 champion also came from three shots behind in his first victory at the<strong>Boeing</strong> Classic, two years ago prevailing over Don Pooley.PAST CHAMPIONS: HOW THEY FAREDThe tournament’s previous three champions obviously have an affinity for the <strong>Boeing</strong> Classic and TPC SnoqualmieRidge. 2007 Champion Denis Watson put pressure on the leaders on Sunday, shooting a 6-under 66 to move up 12places, finishing tied for 5th (74-67-66). Inaugural Champion David Eger, who made it to the seven-man playoff lastyear, shot two-under on Sunday and finished tied for 19th (70-72-70).THE MOST DOMINANT FIGURE ON THE COURSE DURING <strong>TOUR</strong>NAMENT WEEK?WEATHER.Tom Kite ruled on Sunday, but the most talked-about item the rest of tournament week was the weather. The blueskies and mild temperatures everyone had become accustomed to in the tournament’s previous three years wasreplaced by showers and thunderstorms much of the week. Nearly two inches of rain fell between Monday andThursday and players were pulled off the course Monday and Thursday during pre-tournament events. Despite somerelief on Friday and Saturday, lift, clean and place rules were in effect all three days of tournament competition andstart times were moved up on Sunday to finish the round before another wave of showers were scheduled to come inlate Sunday.Nothing could dampen the spirits of those involved in the tournament though. From the players and staff to volunteersand spectators, it was a special week and a successful effort to benefit The Heart Institute at Virginia Mason MedicalCenter.OVER 900 VOLUNTEERS - THE LARGEST IN <strong>TOUR</strong>NAMENT HISTORY - IS BEHIND THE SUCCESS OF THEBOEING CLASSICThe 2008 <strong>Boeing</strong> Classic experienced its largest volunteer turnout in the tournament’s four-year history. Withsignificant contributions from the employees of <strong>Boeing</strong> and Virginia Mason Medical Center, the tournament wasassisted by over 900 volunteers.<strong>TOUR</strong>NAMENT ATTENDANCEWith clouds turning to scattered showers on Championship Sunday, the tournament’s crowd for the final day of playtotaled 16,000. With estimated attendance at 15,000 on Friday, 15,000 on Saturday and 2,500 for the events leadingup to the competition, the total attendance for the week was 48,500.18

2007 <strong>TOUR</strong>NAMENT IN REVIEWDENIS WATSON WINS 2007 BOEING CLASSIC AFTER LARGEST PLAYOFF IN <strong>PGA</strong> <strong>TOUR</strong> HISTORYIt took 56 holes for a winner to be decided, but with an eagle on the second hole of a seven-man playoff, DenisWatson earned the title of 2007 <strong>Boeing</strong> Classic Champion. Watson finished regulation play at 9-under and tied with sixother players to force the largest playoff in <strong>PGA</strong> Tour history. The previous record was six players in the 2001 NissanOpen and the 1994 GT Byron Nelson Classic.Watson entered the playoff along with Gil Morgan, Dana Quigley, 2005 Champions David Eger, Joe Ozaki, R.W. Eaksand Craig Stadler. Watson chipped in from 23 feet for a birdie, forcing others to do the same in order to stay in theplayoff. Eaks and Stadler were up for the challenge with Stadler sinking a 22-foot put while Eaks tapped in for four.Morgan and Eger missed 12-foot birdie putts and Ozaki's shot out of the green-side bunker hit the edge of the cup butrolled past.Watson, Eaks and Stadler went back and played 18 again for the third time in an hour. All three reached the greenin two, but Watson was able to keep the playoff from continuing by draining his eagle putt to become the thirdchampion in <strong>Boeing</strong> Classic tournament history.Following his win, Watson was open about his passion for the game. “It’s an amazing thing, golf. You open your souland everyone takes a look at you. They see everything. The emotions that grab a hold of you, people who haven’tdone it don’t understand. The great part is what happened today on Sunday. You just want to have a chance to win.When it does happen, it gives you such a buzz. It makes you realize why you do it.”2007 TOP-SEVEN FINISHERSFinish Name Score1st Denis Watson 69-69-69—207 (-9)*T2 Craig Stadler 74-65-68—207 (-9)T2 R.W.

HOLE BY HOLE DESCRIPTIONSHole 1Southern DescentHole 2BackyardHole 3The RidgeThe 554-yard par five is a fantasticstarting hole. With bunkers coming intoplay on each shot, accuracy is at apremium. A well-placed second shot onthe left side of the fairway allows for aclear approach to this guarded green.Proper club selection sets up a strongbirdie opportunity.The 410-yard second hole is achallenging par four. With a generouslanding area off the tee, the bunker onthe right side of the fairway is the onlyobstacle to avoid from the tee. A wellstruckapproach shot is critical to landthe ball close to the hole. This trickygreen does not yield too many birdies soreading the undulations and breaks iscritical for success.This long par four is rated as thenumber one handicap hole on thecourse. At 462 yards in length, a soliddrive is critical for reaching this green intwo. Deep bunkers front this green tothe left and a grassy swale awaits a shotdrifting to the right. Into the prevailingwinds and slightly uphill, be sure toselect enough club to reach the greensafely.Hole 4Twin FirsHole 5Fall CityHole 6CascadeThis 426-yard par four sets up for astunning downhill tee shot. With two firtrees and fairway bunkers guarding bothsides of the fairway and a creek cuttingacross the fairway at the bottom of thehill, a solid tee shot is a must. Thisheavily guarded green short right andlong makes proper club selectionimperative.Named for its incredible view of Fall Cityand the Redmond-Fall City valley, thislong, downhill par four allows for astrong tee shot. A wide fairway andgenerous downhill landing area allowsthe ball to funnel toward the green. Asevere cliff drops off left so be sure toavoid going too far left. The downhillapproach plays shorter than it appearsand the ball will release toward the holdon the approach.This is a long, downhill par-3 that is afun spectator hole. The length ofthis hole is one reason why the par-3sare likely to be the toughest set of holesfor subpar scoring on the course. Don’texpect to see a lot of birdies here.35


HOLE BY HOLE DESCRIPTIONSHole 7DeceptionHole 8The NarrowsHole 9Screaming EagleAs one of the shortest par fours onthe course at 375 yards, Deceptionprovides golfers with severalchallenges. With a small lake andelevated fairway in front of the teebox, the tee shot must be struck wellto clear the fairway bunkers. Aprecise approach is critical to avoidthe deep greenside bunkers.This short 529-yard par five isgreatly lengthened by the narrowlanding area and greenside lakeprotecting the front and left side ofthe tricky green. A well-placedsecond shot to the right of thefairway allows the player toaggressively attack the pin using thelength of the green for safety. Goingfor this green in two is a riskydecision with the lake and bunkerssurrounding all sides of this green.Talk about a fun hole to watch!Thishole requires a long carry over EagleLake, plus an additional eight yardsto clear the front bunker.Undershooting means “splash” andovershooting means a tricky chipfrom hillside rough to the narrowgreen. This hole has been the wateryburial ground of a lot of goodrounds.Hole 10Bunker HillHole 11Northwest PassageHole 12The FallsThis 353-yard, uphill par four is theshortest par four on the course. Withfour deep fairway bunkers cominginto play off the tee, a precise longiron or fairway wood is the safestplay off the tee. Several deepbunkers protect this undulatinggreen so club selection is imperativein setting up a birdie opportunity.The 484-yard par four is long andtough. With a series of fairwaybunkers protecting the fairway right,a tee shot to the left side sets up along approach to this two-tieredgreen. Deep bunkers protect thisdifficult green left and a two-putt paris a great result for this challenginghole.The black tee box on this 426-yardpar four sports a great frontal viewof the famous Snoqualmie Falls. Theview inspires a great tee shot rightof the series of fairway bunkers thatprotect the left side. The two-tieredgreen requires a precise approachshot to set up a birdie opportunity.Downhill putts on this green can bevery slick so be sure to putt withcaution.36


HOLE BY HOLE DESCRIPTIONSHole 13Mt. SighHole 14Bear’s CanyonHole 15ValleysMount Si and the surroundingCascade mountain range framethis 210-yard, downhill par three.With bunkers lurking short andleft of the green, a right to lefttee shot will release to the holesetting up a birdie opportunity.The 13th hole is one of the mostspectacular and inspirationalholes on the course.Hole 16Rats NestThis is the signature hole of thecourse. The horseshoe-shaped canyonsets up a classic “risk-reward” drivewhere the ultimate reward is thechance to putt for eagle. Just howmany players go for the green willdepend on where the tee is andwhether a player needs to gamble. Asuccessful, dramatic shot here canbreathe new life into a round. Oneplace to avoid is the front-right bunkerbecause it is 14 feet deep.Hole 17On the RockThe 590-yard par five boaststremendous views of several valleyscutting across the Cascade mountainrange. A strong tee shot and wellplacedsecond shot set up for a goodangle of approach to this protectedgreen. A valley runs across thecenter of this green requiring aprecise approach to the hole.Hole 18CraftsmanAt 380 yards, the par four 16thboasts 11 bunkers that await anerrant shot. A well-placed drive is amust to score well on this short parfour. A short approach to anelevated green requires proper clubselection to set up a scoringopportunity. Falling short leaves adifficult bunker shot so choose yourclub wisely.The 211-yard par three boasts adifficult tee shot over water and animmense rock. A slope divides thegreen into right and left tiers. Aprecise tee shot will feed toward thehole so take dead aim.The short 498-yard par five finishinghole proves to be anything but easy.As the shortest of the par fives, the18th plays uphill toward the 48,500square foot Craftsman styleclubhouse. Surrounded by a naturalamphitheater, the fairway and greenare guarded by 16 deep sandbunkers. A precise approach shot willleave you with a solid birdie bid tofinish your round. As you line upyour putt, you can imagine 30,000fans ready to cheer as it rolls incenter cup for <strong>PGA</strong> tournamentvictory.37
