The FedEx St. Jude Championship will open on Thursday, and on this day action, Emiliano Grillo will play Victor Perez at TPC Southwind. The two golfers have had top performances over the years with titles. Let’s take a look at what these two golfers have to offer in this encounter. 

Emiliano Grillo is an Argentine golfer who plays on the PGA Tour. Emiliano Grillo started his golf career in 2008 and won the Byron Nelson International Junior Golf Award in 2019. However, turning professional in 2011, Emiliano Grillo played on the European Tour, where he failed to win a single tournament, with his best finish being a runner-up position in 2014. In the meantime, the Argentine already has two PGA Tour title wins in his career, coming in the 2015 Frys.com Open and Charles Schwab Challenge 2023 tournament. 

Victor Perez is a professional golfer who has played on the European Tour since 2016.

The two players have different profiles, and we can expect them to approach this game with all of them. However, looking at what they have offered over the years and how solid they could be in this one, Emiliano Grillo is a bit behind and might have a lot to do if he wants a win. I will rely on the odds here and pick Victor Perez in a game that could be close, as the 1st Hole could end in a tie.
