Harris English Wins; Phil's Wedges Steal The Show
/While Harris English captured his first PGA Tour win in Memphis (Golfweek's Five Things has more), it was Phil Mickelson's near hole-out on 18 that stole the FedEx St. Jude Classic show.
I was watching in an airport lounge without about 12 others--all white males over 45...you know, that diverse golf fan base--and not much moved the group except Mickelson's 170 yard wedge on 14 and his near hole out from 151 on 18 that would have put a little pressure on English. (Oh and they were transfixed by the super slow motion camera shot of Ian Baker Finch hitting a wedge shot).
Anyway, John Strege has the recap on why this is a big finish for Mickelson along with all of his positive comments about Merion's setup after early week practice sessions.
Both shots are on YouTube courtesy of the PGA Tour, starting with the shot on 18:
And the wedge from 170 on the par-3 14th.
