Owen refusing to look at history books
Englishman Greg Owen is planning to ignore his previous form at the FedEx St Jude Classic after he finished day one in a tie for first.
The 43-year-old is currently tied with Ryan Palmer and Brooks Koepka on six-under par at the FedEx St Jude Classic after a superb round which saw him card a 64.
Owen was six-under as he battled the searing heat at TPC Southwind in Memphis, while fellow Englishman Brian Davis was also in fine form.
Three years ago Owen finished in a tie for 11th at the same tournament but he has also missed the cut on two occasions.
Instead of looking back at his previous form, Owen is just focusing on his current display.
He said: “I don’t look at past results. It means nothing. To finally hit the shots I want to hit, I just want to keep hitting them. Wherever it leads us, it leads us.
“I don’t look at stats.”
