Price’s 66 Earns Another Victory

Nick Price, already the leading money-winner on the PGA Tour this year, won his fourth tournament of the year Sunday when his final-round 66 gave him a three-shot victory in the $1.1-million Federal Express-St. Jude Classic at Memphis, Tenn.

It was Price’s third victory in as many tour events. He won the Greater Hartford Open and Western Open on consecutive weekends in late June and early July. He also won the Tournament Players Championship in March. No other golfer has more than two tour victories this year.

Price finished with an 18-under-par 266 total.

Jeff Maggert and Rich Fehr finished at 269, one shot better than Fuzzy Zoeller.
