Straka has enjoyed a wonderful seasonGettySt. Jude Championship: What has been said?
McIlroy’s decision to skip the St. Jude has ruffled a few feathers in the golfing world this week.
But former major winner Rich Beem believes the Northern Irishman is right to miss it and it could set him up to claim a record-extending fourth time FedExCup.
“It’s not surprising,” Beem said. “Memphis is typically very hot. It gets into the 90s, and you’re drinking like 20 bottles of water – it can be that stifling.
“Memphis can really sap your energy, just because of how hot and stifling it is. You would be playing four rounds there, then you’ve got to go to a long course (Caves Valley), then you have the same thing in Atlanta with the heat.
“I think if you want to be front and centre, and McIlroy wants to win the FedExCup for a fourth time, he has got to have all of his energy.
“The last three weeks can really, really take it out of you from a weather standpoint.
“Rory taking this week off to save himself for the last two is a good call.”
