2014 Sanderson Farms Championship Discussion Thread

[mvmac]

The 2014 Sanderson Farms Championship is being played at the Country Club of Jackson in Jackson, Miss. The par-72, which will use the Azalea and Dogwood nines at the facility, will measure 7,354 yards for the event.

The field this week includes 2014-2015 season winners Ben Martin and Robert Streb, along with John Daly, David Duval and Lee Janzen. Most of the world's top golfers will be playing this week in the WGC-HSBC Champions event in China.

Last year, Woody Austin won in a three-man playoff against Daniel Summerhays and Cameron Beckman. At the age of 49, Austin was the oldest winner on the PGA Tour since 2007, and he'll be back in the field this year to defend his title.

I remember that playoff like it was 5 minutes ago. When I started golfing a couple years back I played Cameron Beckman's putter. It was literally his putter from when he played junior golf, my father in law picked it up at a garage sale Cameron's father had. I've always felt the need to follow his progress as he tries to get his tour card back.

Last year he came soooooo close. He had a short putt to tie Woody and go to a 2nd playoff hole....he pulled it

I'm hoping he has another good tournament. He can only play a handful of PGA tournaments, needs a win desperately.

Anywho, 17 year old high school senior Camden Backel qualified for the tournament

The 17 year old is currently +2 after 10 holes. Currently at 80% GIR's. Not too shabby.

Man what the hell happened to YE Yang. He has been garbage for some time now.

John Daly's first 9 holes today was....very John Daly. Eagle and a double bogey. He now has 2 birdies on the next 9 though, currently 4 under on the day.

The last Canadian-born golfer to win on the PGA tour was Mike Weir....7 years ago.

Finally Nick Taylor broke that drought.
