The final stop on Tour before the second major of the year, the US Open at Pinehurst, gets underway next Thursday is the St Jude Classic from TPC Southwind in Memphis, Tennessee, beginning later today.

I'm focusing on solid drivers and good all-round ball strikers in the hunt for this week's winner.

My value selections are below. Of those at shorter prices, I can see Lee Westwood's long game meaning he has a decent week here too (@ 20).
