Adam Scott, Fredrik Jacobson, St. Jude Championship, PGA Tour
June 8, 2007 (Press Release) --
"I felt (the wind) got to my putting a couple times when you have a gust coming in the middle of your stroke," Jacobson told reporters. "It's not only the full shots, it's also once you're on the green trying to stand still and get a little push. It can push you off."
Retief Goosen was the lone player to player to avoid having a bogey on his card. He finished with a 2-under-par 68, tying Brian Gay for third.
Scott Verplank, Gavin Coles and Duffy Waldorf all shot 69 and stand tied for fifth.
John Daly, Justin Leonard and two-time St. Jude champion David Toms are among 11 players tied for eighth at even-par 70. Daly's round featured a string of five consecutive birdies, which got him to 2 under before falling back.
Scott overcame some early adversity as he offset a double bogey at No. 2 with an eagle on the par-5 third hole. After a bogey on No. 4, the world's No. 4-ranked player didn't make another major mistake, recording birdies at Nos. 6, 10, 13 and 16.
"I wasn't too worried after making a double (bogey) on No. 2 because something like that would probably happen today in the wind," Scott said. "But it was nice to get it straight back and try to get moving in the right direction."
Jacobson had a somewhat steadier round, recording five birdies and two bogeys. Prior to Thursday, the 32-year-old Swede had never held or shared the first-, second- or third-round lead on the PGA Tour in 86 career starts.
