A Desperate Case

According to catholic.Org, St. Jude is the patron saint of desperate cases. That's possibly why Danny Thomas named his children's health facility after him -- they focus on saving children struggling just to survive.

It's beginning to appearance as if the FedEx St. Jude Classic deserves his attention as well. This picture tweeted with the aid of John Picozzi, displaying the cartpath to the 18th green, says it all:

And consistent with PGATOUR.Com's report, most effective 32 players had completed both of their rounds by Friday nighttime.

With america Open subsequent week, the Tour is faced with some critical questions. While they would virtually like to complete this occasion on time, reality should step in and force a shortened match. There's speculated to be a 50% chance of rain and storms these days; that goes as much as 60% for Sunday. In fact, Memphis is underneath a flood watch until Sunday morning... And the least chance of thunderstorms is 30% on Monday. (It goes returned as much as 50% on Tuesday, according to climate.Com.)

Depending on how things play out we could be looking at a fifty four-hole occasion, inspite of a Monday end.

But possibly St. Jude himself is sending a message to the sector. After all the again problems Ben Crane has had over the previous couple of years -- he is needed to make modifications to his swing just so he can play -- He Whose Leotard Can Not Be Tamed has taken a big lead over the relaxation of the field. As he instructed PGATOUR.Com in the report noted earlier:

?I surely didn't expect to be right here," said Crane, who?S one hundred and fiftieth inside the FedExCup. "If someone would have informed me a couple days in the past I'd be status in front of a bunch of cameras, I might have requested, 'What did I do?'
?It?S been a really, simply hard yr. ?You begin questioning, ?Am I going to get it lower back?? ?
Wonder no more, Ben. Perhaps this is a week for desperate cases to do more than survive. Let's hope so, for everyone's sake.
