JACKSON, Miss. -- University of Memphis senior golfer Isaiah Jackson is taking his game to another level this weekend: the PGA Tour.
Jackson will participate n the Sanderson Farms Championship in Jackson, Mississippi beginning Thursday at the Country Club of Jackson. The UofM All-American earned an exemption into the field as an amateur by winning the Mississippi Men's State Amateur in late June by four strokes. That event was played at nearby Annadale Golf Club in Madison, Mississippi.
The first Memphis men's golfer to earn PING All-American honors in four years, Jackson was one of 30 golfers nationwide to earn honorable mention status.
