PGA Results: 2013 FedEx St. Jude Classic

PGA Tour FedEx St. Jude Classic TPC Southwind, Memphis, Tennessee Many big name players skip this past week in Memphis to prepare for this week's U.S. Open at Merion.  Some players like to compete the week before majors to get in the flow of competition, like Phil Mickelson.  Phil did play quite well this past week, nearly holing out his approach on the final hole for eagle, which would have tied him for the lead at the time.  But Harris English had other thoughts. English had some great memories of winning in Tennessee.  He was on a high school teem in Chattanooga which won FOUR state championships. With a one stroke lead coming into the 17th, English hit a brilliant punch 2nd shot from under the tree line to about 20 feet.  The curling birdie gave him a two-shot cushion and allowed him to be fairly relaxed as he walked up the 18th en route to the first victory in his PGA Tour career. With the win English collects a large check of over $1 million.  In addition, he receives a two year exemption on the PGA Tour, an invitational to the Tournament of Champions and an automatic invitation to the 2014 Masters. It was a good week. Champions Tour Regions Tradition, a major championship Shoal Creek Golf Course, Shoal Creek, Alabama David Frost won his first Champions Tour major at Shoal Creek by one shot over Fred Couples and two shots over Esteban Toledo and John Cook. It took Frost 17 attempts to get that first Champions Tour major. The victory marks Frosts 5th in his Champions Tour career. LPGA Tour Wegmans LPGA Championship Locust Hill Country Club, Rochester, New York Inbee Park of South Korea captured the Wegmans LPGA Championship at Locust Hill Country Club, but not without some drama.
