Disappointing 71
Golf: Straka thwarted in his race to catch up in Memphis
After slipping back on the third round, a top result for golfer Sepp Straka at the FedExCup play-off tournament in Memphis is a long way off!
The Austrian only managed another 71 on the par-70 course on Saturday, and a double bogey on hole 9 was particularly painful. Friday's round of 67 prevented worse for the time being. Before the end of the round, Straka was still in 45th place in the elite 70-man field of the St. Jude Championship.
On the final day he is fighting for a place in the top 30
The top 50 in the FedEx Cup rankings after the 20 million US dollar tournament qualify for the BMW Championship. As the 18th-ranked player before that, Straka's participation is not in doubt. On the final day in Memphis, however, he will be fighting to stay in the top 30. Only the top 30 will take part in the Tour Championship at the end of the PGA year.
