Calkins: After a wild day at Southwind, Memphis gets a fitting champion
Abraham Ancer tees off on the third day of the WGC FedEx-St. Jude Invitational at TPC Southwind, Saturday. Ancer was born in Texas but lived in Mexico until he was 15. Then his dad decided to move them back to Texas so his son could develop his golf game. (Patrick Lantrip/Daily Memphian)
