Will Zalatoris playing through back injury at WGC-FedEx St. Jude Invitational

MEMPHIS, Tenn. – Last weekend Will Zalatoris would have been 50-50 if asked to tee it up this week at the WGC-FedEx St. Jude Invitational. He didn’t even play a practice round at TPC Southwind, deciding instead to listen to his body.

Remember last month when he chopped out of knee-high hay at Royal St. George’s, tweaked his back and was forced to withdraw from The Open? Turns out that hack-out exacerbated what was already a mild ailment in his lower back. Each step felt as though he was being stabbed in the back of the left leg.
