| Meet Daniel Berger - Winner of the FedEx St. Jude Classic at 13-Under |
When the rain finally quit and the tournament began again about 4:00pm on Sunday, Daniel Berger recorded his first PGA Tour victory as he shot 13-under (67-64-69-67) to win the FedEx St. Jude Classic held at TPC Southwind Golf Course in Memphis, Tennessee.
In addition to Berger finishing first he took home the winners purse of $1.116 million.
“It’s the greatest feeling,” Berger said right after his first PGA Tour win. “You work so hard to get here and to finally be able to put that trophy up . . . I can’t describe it.”
Said FSU head coach Trey Jones, “I had no doubt Daniel was going to win but you never know when. Every challenge he meets he elevates his game. I look for Daniel to make a strong push to be on the Ryder Cup team.”
Berger tied for 10th at The Masters earlier this year to earn exemption into next year’s tournament. Prior to Sunday’s win, his best finish on tour was when he recorded two runner-up finishes in 2015.
At the Honda Classic he placed second in a playoff played right near home in Palm Beach Gardens, and he was also runner-up at the BMW Championship.
