Ishikawa, a 19-year-old Japanese professional golfer, announced on March 30 that he would donate all of his 2011 tournament winnings to disaster relief efforts in Japan. In addition, he plans to donate $1,200 for every birdie he makes. "I hope that this will contribute to those people so that they will be encouraged and they can walk again in their life," he told the L.A. Times.
