MEMPHIS - Si Woo Kim and J.J. Spaun each shot eight-under (62s) in the opening round of the FedEx St. Jude Championship, to lead the first leg of the 2022 FedExCup Playoffs. Si Woo Kim holed out for eagle on his final hole (No. 18) for career-low nine-hole score (28)

There are 15 other players within three strokes of the lead going into Friday’s second round at TPC Southwind. Another dozen players are four strokes off the lead. Even par (70) was good for only a T-77.

On This Day in Golf History

August 12, 2007 - Tiger Woods won the PGA Championship for the second straight year for his 13th major title, taking a two-stroke victory over Woody Austin at Southern Hills Country Club in Tulsa, Oklahoma. Woods led by as many as five strokes, however, after Austin birdied three straight holes and woods bogeyed the 14th, his lead was shaved to one stroke. Woods birdied the 15th and carded pars the rest of the way for the win. - Courtesy of Randy Walker, Author of On This Day in Golf History, available via Amazon.com and by clicking HERE
