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).

NEW YORK -- Now that theyre finally banging the ball around the yard, the New York Mets are thinking about that late-season charge that carried them all the way to the World Series last year.Yoenis Cespedes clocked a three-run homer, Kelly Johnson had a pinch-hit grand slam and Noah Syndergaard pitched two-hit ball over seven innings as the resurgent Mets routed the Philadelphia Phillies 12-1 on Saturday.Asdrubal Cabrera homered for the third time in two games, a two-run drive that put New York ahead against Jeremy Hellickson (10-8). Neil Walker added his 23rd of the season to match a career high, giving the Mets four homers for the second consecutive night in a blowout of Philadelphia.It looks like a completely different team, Mets manager Terry Collins said. The energy is just different in the room right now.Alejandro De Aza added a two-run double for the Mets, who won for the sixth time in seven games as they attempt to make a push in the bunched-up NL playoff chase. New York got some help Saturday with losses by Miami and St. Louis and moved within 2 1/2 games of the Cardinals for the leagues second wild card.Cespedes is reminded of last year, when his arrival after a July 31 trade helped the Mets turn a moribund offense into a pennant winner.I think the energy, he said through a translator, right now has taken us back to the last two months of last season.The desire, the motivation, he explained.Jose Reyes and Cabrera each had three hits, once again providing a spark from the top two spots in the lineup since both came off the disabled list. Mostly healthy at last after lagging through much of the summer as one of baseballs weakest offenses, the Mets have totaled 31 runs while winning their past three games. They have 76 runs (6.3 per game) and 22 homers in their last 12.New York also has posted at least nine runs in three straight games for the first time since June 2012 -- and scored nine or more in successive home games for the first time since September 2008.The team has 87 homers at Citi Field this season, surpassing its previous record of 85 set last year. The ballpark opened in 2009.Syndergaard (12-7) chipped in with a long double and is 3-0 with a 1.31 ERA in his last three starts.The only damage against him came on Freddy Galvis homer in the third, and the big right-hander improved to 4-0 with a 1.37 ERA in four career outings against the Phillies.Right now Im just better able to locate my sinker to both sides of the plate, Syndergaard said. And my slliders been a lot more consistent.ddddddddddddThe Mets have taken 12 of their past 14 series with Philadelphia.Its like they know whats coming, Phillies manager Pete Mackanin said. They just seem to feast on our pitching.Hellickson, who had won four consecutive decisions and six of his last seven, allowed a three-run shot to Cespedes that made it 5-1 with two outs in the fourth.Johnsons drive off Michael Mariot in a six-run seventh was his fourth pinch-hit homer this season. It gave the Mets grand slams in consecutive games for the first time since Carlos Beltran hit both in July 2006.Bad pitching, Mackanin said. Tonight was embarrassing.Philadelphia had won Hellicksons previous six starts.Just one of those nights. Didnt really have much, the right-hander said.ANOTHER CHANCECollins said RHP Rafael Montero will be recalled from Double-A Binghamton to start Monday night against Miami in place of struggling RHP Jacob deGrom, who is skipping a turn. Montero is 1-4 with a 4.45 ERA in 17 major league games, including nine starts.DANGEROUS HITTERA few pitches before his home run, Cespedes hit a foul line drive about head high that had Syndergaard darting and ducking out of the way as he took a short lead off third base. That was just all reflex. I dont think it was anywhere near me, Syndergaard said. The night before, Phillies pitcher Adam Morgan barely evaded serious injury when he ducked underneath Cespedes scorching liner up the middle.TRAINERS ROOMMets: Part-time CF Justin Ruggiano went on the 15-day disabled list with a strained left shoulder, and INF T.J. Rivera was recalled from Triple-A Las Vegas. Fortunately for Rivera, he never left town Friday when he was optioned to the minors to make room for Walker, who came off the paternity leave list.
