Golf tourney scores $1.63M for Jimmy V Foundation research

Back in his Chicago home, actor Vince Vaughn has a collection of golf clubs that no longer serve their primary function.

Thanks to Vaughn's reaction to several shots that went awry, those drivers and putters have been manhandled and mangled beyond repair.

Wednesday at the Industry Hills (Calif.) Golf Club, Vaughn said he added another useless club to his collection. The star of comedies "The Breakup" and "The Dilemma" warped his 5-iron after a tee shot went awry.

"I took a few extra divots out of that club and the rest of the 5th hole," Vaughn said, chuckling, "but it's all for a good cause, so I'll live with it."

Vaughn is among the many sports and entertainment notables entered in the 10th Annual ESPY Celebrity Golf Classic at the Industry Hills Golf Club at Pacific Palms.  The Jimmy V Golf even, combined with the Don't Give Up ESPYs V Foundation Auction, raised $1.63 million for The V Foundation for Cancer Research.
