PGA Tour Leaderboard: St. Jude Classic 2015 Preview, Tee Times and Predictions

The final stop before the 2015 U.S. Open will take place at the St. Jude Classic in Memphis. Hosted by TPC Southwind and held from June 11-14, the event holds a $6 million purse, with the winner receiving a $1.08 million share.

What They're Saying

Padraig Harrington (via Independent): "I'll be looking for a big performance there. I know the course. It's a big ask at the end of the day to go out there and win a tournament on demand, but we'll have to give it a chance."

The Favorites

Dustin Johnson won this tournament in 2012 and finished tied for 13th at the Memorial Tournament despite shooting a double bogey in each round. The real favorite, however, is the star-studded power of Phil Mickelson. Lefty has been erratic in recent weeks, but is yet to produce back-to-back poor performances this Spring.

After being cut from the Players Championship, Mickelson finished tied for fourth at the Wells Fargo Championship. He'll look to improve on his tied-65th-finish at the Memorial Tournament last Sunday.

Prediction

The goal remains the U.S. Open for Mickelson. His performance this weekend will go a long way in securing it.
