Maggert Wins FedEx St. Jude Classic

Jeff Maggert will win the FedEx St. Jude Classic on Sunday, after he drilled the final three holes with remarkable puts to finish 9-under par. He eagled the 16th hole with a 36-footer after an uncharacteristically long drive and then birdied the 17th, the second toughest hole on the course, by banging home a 33-footer. Maggert hit just oneone bogey to sneak up on the leaders and win. This was his first PGA Tour victory since he won the Match Play Championship in 1999. Tom Pernice Jr. is currently alone in second place, but is three shots back with just one hole to play.

On a similar note, David Howell was very impressive in winning the BMW Championship (the European Tour's version of the Players' Championship). The Europeans are coming into form at the moment really well. They might win their first major in seven years since Lawrie won the Open at Carnoustie. They ought to with Howell, Garcia, Harrington, Donald, even Montgomerie coming on good lately. Perhaps not the US Open, but come the Open at Hoylake, I think one of the above stands a good chance.
