GOLF.GARA: Rory McIlroy opens ’12-round event’ alongside well-rested Scottie Scheffler at FedEx St. Jude Championship
MEMPHIS, Tenn. – Scottie Scheffler and Rory McIlroy, the two best players in the world, will tee off side by side Thursday at TPC Southwind to open the FedEx St. Jude Championship.
For McIlroy, a three-time FedExCup champion, this week is just one leg of a longer race.
“I almost try to view the Playoffs as one big, long tournament, like a 12-round event,” McIlroy said Wednesday. “I’ve been lucky enough to do pretty well on these things over the years, so I’ll try to add another one to the list.”
