Seven former event winners and a quintet of major tournament champions will be among the 130 golfers in the field this week when the PGA Tour heads to the Magnolia State for the Sanderson Farms Championship in Jackson, Miss.The event, which is held at at Country Club of Jackson, is the fourth tournament in the PGA Tours wraparound schedule that bridges two years with 43 events as part of the 2016-17 PGA Tour Season.Last year, Peter Malnati shot a final round 5-under-par 67 to rally past a crowded leaderboard, finish at 18-under and win his first PGA Tour event while beating William McGirt and David Toms by one stroke. He was one shot behind going into the final round, but closed with five birdies over his last 12 holes.The rain-soaked tournament was forced to complete play on Monday. This year, the forecast is for warm and dry weather, which will create a different test and, likely, lower scores. Eleven of the past 15 Sanderson Farms Championships have been decided by either one stroke or in a playoff.The event (formerly called the Viking Classic, the True South Classic and the Southern Farm Bureau Classic, et al.) moved to the Country Club of Jackson in 2014 after being contested for 19 years at Annandale Country Club in Madison, Miss.In his win in 2015, Malnati blitzed the rain-softened putting surfaces by making the most feet of putts in any Tour event last season (495 feet, 7 inches over the four days) and the most putts of more than 10 feet in any tournament in 2015-16 (16). He outperformed the rest of the Sanderson Farms Championship field by plus-2.943 strokes per round.Ive heard that the rough will be thicker and longer this year and if the fairways are firm that will create a fun challenge, Malnati said. Im looking forward to that. This course has some of the best greens we putt on Tour.Patton Kizzire, who is also in the field, finished fourth here last year and is familiar with the course from his days playing at Auburn.Im excited about the weather this week, Kizzire said. Last year the weather was rough, but the course handled it well. The course is fun to play. Itll be a little different year, but I like the Country Club of Jackson.Kizzire ended up playing in three of the four majors, making the cut at the British Open and PGA Championship. He made the cut in 20 of his 27 events last season.You have to understand its a long year and keep doing you and see if you can do you better than anyone else, Kizzire said. If you play your own game and youre not really worrying about what everyone else is doing, you can stay patient.Other previous Sanderson Farms Championship winners in this years field are Nick Taylor (2014), Scott Stallings (2012), Chris Kirk (2011), Will MacKenzie (2008), D.J. Trahan (2006) and Heath Slocum (2005).The fields major championship winners are Lucas Glover (2009 U.S. Open), Geoff Ogilvy (2006 U.S. Open), David Toms (2001 PGA Championship), Retief Goosen (2001, 2004 U.S. Open) and Angel Cabrera (2007 U.S. Open, 2009 Masters).There are also five players in the field that are already in the top 30 in this years FedExCup standings: Kizzire (3), Cody Gribble (17), Chris Kirk (17), Mackenzie Hughes (28) and Whee Kim (28).

Open champion Justin Rose birdied the first hole with a blind shot he hit to a foot of the pin, and he stayed in front Tuesday until he completed a 4-under 67 for a two-shot lead over Jason Dufner in PGA Grand Slam of Golf.Trailblazing teenage T36 long-jumper Ryan Raghoo hopes his record-breaking achievements can help pave the way for the next generation of disability athletes. The Brunel University student, who has cerebral palsy, broke the British record at the Queensland Open Championships and now looks set to travel to Rio and become the nations first T36 Paralympic long-jumper.He told Sky Sports: Its a privileged position to be in and I am very grateful to have reached a level in the sport and be the first person in British history to do that. However, its a position Im not going to be complacent about. For me, its about the platform once I get there of what I can do to change things for people with disabilities.I try to promote and get more people involved in disability sports and thats one of the reasons why I compete. I want to show people it doesnt matter what background you come from, what disability you have, or what start in life youve had, you can still achieve things.Its the same message Ive been pushing throughout my career and I hope more organisations come on board to help support the message of enabled, not disabled, and to empower people with disabilities. Ryan only began walking as a four-year-old Raghoo proved his performance at Queensland was no fluke by achieving the Rio Paralympics qualifying standard again at a meeting in Talence, France, in April. He jumped five centimetres short of his own British record of 4.61m set in February, making him a virtual certainty to be selected for next months European Championships.Im probably my own worst critic and to be fair, I was quite frustrated despite breaking the British record because I know I can jump a lot further, the 19-year-old said.The British record is just a steepping stone to bigger things and when I started out, I was looking at that record as the first marker on the road to some great things the summer, so it was nice to achieve.dddddddddddd Raghoo looking to use Europeans as stepping stone to Rio When I jumped the British record, it also qualified me for the European Championships as well [which no other British athlete has ever done] and I aim to use the Europeans as an opportunity to build for Rio.But I also think I dont feel as excited about it as perhaps I should, because Para-athletes get very little recognition, if any, for breaking national records. Maybe its something Ill be able to enjoy when I look back on my career but it was a good marker to put down.Croydon-based Raghoos mother is from India and his father is Guyanese with Indian ancestery. Doctors told Ryans parents he may never be able to walk. There are very few ethnic minorities in Paralympic sports, which is one of the reasons why I am so driven to succeed, added the self-funded athlete.Im often asked who my role models were but there was no-one to really look up to from my background. i remember when Amir Khan came through and that was major for the Asian community because we dont have too many superstars on that level.Id certainly like to be able to become a role model but Im the first to say that Im still learning. When I speak to people - and I speak to children a lot - they always seek to take something away from my story, so in many ways my journey is an opportunity for me to inspire people. ' ' '
