PGA Tour : Fed Ex St Jude Championship..Tee Times
Hideki Matsuyama the Japanese super star, can be tough to beat when his back isn't acting up, and in the oppressive heat of Memphis all is well so far even without his coach and caddie who along with Hideki were robbed at a London restaurant on their way to Memphis from Paris where he won the bronze medal.
With scores of 65 64 64 -17 he is making mincemeat out of TPC Southwind, leading the pack by 5 shots. He wins and he is #3 in the world amongst all the other bells and baubles including a $3.6m paycheck before Uncle Sam gets his usual cut of the $20,000,000 on offer.
Now many others are all about getting into next week's top 50, so here are the plight of the 5 Canadians
Nick Taylor T25 68 68 70 -4 projected #50
Taylor Pendrith T31 65 71 71 -3 projected #32
Corey Conners T45 69 70 70 -1 projected #38
Adam Hadwin T45 71 71 67 -1 projected #42
Mac Hughes T58 70 71 70 +1 projected #54
So you can see Sunday in the heat of Memphis will be a ticklish day for many including Taylor and Hughes who are right around the bubble.
Never mind Scheffler, Rory and Xander, they will all be in Atlanta for the Tour Championship, and the Fed Ex Cup millions, for now it's all about the guys getting into their company in the top 50.
