Bailey Jessop, who was diagnosed with osteosarcoma in 2017, is now cancer-free thanks to the nearly year-long treatment he received at St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital in Memphis, Tennessee.
Baseball was, and still is, his first love. And though the 14-year-old can’t really play anymore, he’s playing some golf now.
Earlier this summer, when St. Jude and FootJoy were looking for someone to design a pair of golf shoes for Justin Thomas to wear at the World Golf Championships-FedEx St. Jude Invitational, Bailey was the perfect choice. The teenager was at TPC Southwind to give the shoes to the defending champ. Thomas liked the shoes so much he plans on wearing them all four days of competition.
