PGA Tour’s Memphis stop precursor to U.S. Open (Jun 7, 2017)
The FedEx St. Jude Classic will enjoy its 60th edition on Thursday with one of its best fields and a prime spot as the event before the U.S. Open for the 11th consecutive year.
The only way the tournament could be better is if it could produce a champion that moves on to win the U.S. Open as well.
No golfer has ever won America’s national championship after capturing the tournament held the previous week. With that said, the field of 156 of the PGA Tour’s top golfers has not been scared away from trying to win the first leg of that double here at the TPC Southwind in Memphis, Tenn.
