MEMPHIS, Tenn. – The highlight of Sepp Straka’s year is easy to pinpoint following his breakthrough victory in February at the Honda Classic. The lowlight is just as easy to pinpoint – a horrid stretch of six consecutive missed cuts to end the regular season.
It is what made his 64-66 start at the post-season opener both surprising and welcome.
After finishing his second round at the FedEx St. Jude Championship with birdies at four of his last five holes, Straka was asked if his regular-season finish had impacted his attitude.
“You can't afford to do that out here,” said Straka, who leads by one shot early Friday at TPC Southwind.
