2018 FedEx St. Jude Classic rankings: Top 10 picks
1. Brooks Koepka -- Koepka has a really good chance of winning the US Open next week. He has been on fire since that third round at The Players.
2. Dustin Johnson -- DJ just casually finishes in the top-17 in every start this season, and we kinda forget about him.
3. Phil Mickelson -- Mickelson is enjoying his greatest season putting in the strokes gained era. Plays well here, and I like him here better than Shinnecock because of the pressure he puts on himself now in majors knowing the clock is ticking.
4. Daniel Berger -- The two-time defending champion was downright mediocre in May, but he's enjoyed an otherwise solid season. Obviously a horse-for-course play.
5. Tony Finau -- Just been a great year for Finau, and he finished T-13 at Memorial. He can absolutely demolish this golf course with his length.
6. Henrik Stenson -- Like Finau, T-13 at Memorial, a place he likes. Stenson's game is still very good tee to green. His putting is even pretty good. Deep rough can be a problem, though.
7. Joaquin Niemann -- Maybe we're hyping this kid too much, but he earned Special Temporary Membership in basically no time at all. He's handled everything perfectly since turning pro.
8. Charles Howell III -- We need a man making cuts and posting high finishes, and that's CH3. Playing great this year, just grinding away.
9. Peter Uihlein -- Gotta catch Uihlein at the right time, and I'd say T5-T21-T5 in his last three starts is just about right.
10. Charl Schwartzel -- Runs hot and cold, and he missed the cut at Memorial, which was disappointing given his past there. Still a class player this week in a weak field.
