The golf world may not be too familiar with Poom Saksansin, but PGA Tour stars Paul Casey and Henrik Stenson certainly know all about the baby-faced Thai who is nicknamed "Assassin".
The 26-year-old Poom will tee up in the $10.25 million World Golf Championships-FedEx St Jude Invitational at TPC Southwind in Memphis on Thursday with every intention of upstaging the stars in the city known as the birthplace of blues, soul, and rock'n' roll.
Poom earned his place in the elite field after winning the BNI Indonesian Masters last December for his third Asian Tour title.
