Our 2012 PGA Tour Golf picks are back, and we are already at the eve of the US Open, the second major of the year. In the final tune-up before one of the biggest tourneys on the PGA Tour Schedule, we try to beat the St. Jude Classic odds by making our 2012 FedEx St. Jude Classic picks and predictions!

2012 St. Jude Classic Predictions & Info
2012 St. Jude Classic Dates: Thursday, June 7th – Sunday, June 10th, 2012
2012 St. Jude Classic Location: TPC Southwind, Memphis, Tennessee
Defending St. Jude Classic Winner: Harrison Frazar
2012 St. Jude Classic TV Coverage – Network: Golf Channel, CBS

This isn’t going to be the most impressive field that golf has to offer, and that might make the PGA Tour betting lines all the more interesting to bet. For example, a man like last year’s champion, Harrison Frazar (Odds To Win 2012 St. Jude Classic: 70 to 1 @ 5Dimes Sportsbook) might be able to find his way into the winner’s circle again this year to give you a big time payday. Frazar started off his season with sound and fury, and it really looked like he was going to end up in the midst of a great year. He finished fifth at the Hyundai Tournament of Champions and was tied for second at the Sony Open in Hawaii. Since that point though, he has fallen off the face of the golfing earth, and it has basically been a 50/50 proposition at best as to whether he has made the cut in events or not.

One of the highest ranked players on the PGA Tour right now that is going to be playing in this event is Graeme McDowell (St. Jude Classic Odds: 25 to 1 @ 5Dimes Sportsbook). It wasn’t all that long ago that McDowell was ranked in the Top 5 in the world week after week, and he was even once upon a time amongst the favorites to win the major tournaments as well. Since that point, he has slipped to the verge of the Top 25 rankings, and he would love to be able to turn his career around with a win here at the St. Jude’s Classic to get him ready for next week’s US Open.

List Of Past St. Jude Classic Winners (Since 2000)
2011 – Harrison Frazar
2010 – Lee Westwood
2009 – Brian Gay
2008 – Justin Leonard
2007 – Woody Austin
2006 – Jeff Maggert
2005 – Justin Leonard
2004 – David Toms
2003 – David Toms
2002 – Len Mattiace
2001 – Bob Estes
2000 – Notah Begay III

The only man in this field that has won this tournament on back to back occasions is David Toms (Odds To Win The St. Jude Classic: 25 to 1 @ 5Dimes Sportsbook). Of course, you have to go back to 2003 and 2004 to find those two wins here at the St. Jude Classic, but in the end, those -16 and -20 scores, two of the best that this tournament has ever seen, could make Toms one of the scarier golfers to back on the PGA Tour this week, knowing that he has a history of playing well this time of year going into the second major.

The only other multiple time winner of the St. Jude Classic that is going to be in this field this year is Justin Leonard (St. Jude Classic Lines: 185 to 1 @ 5Dimes Sportsbook). Leonard is one of these gritty golfers that you always see consistently firing rounds, though it has been quite some time since he has gotten one into the mid-60s like he used to. There is still a lot of confidence that Leonard can turn it around and get back to his winning ways, but it is going to take a bit effort here at the St. Jude Classic to get the taste of all of those missed cuts out of our mouths if we want to back him at next week’s US Open.
