Scottie Scheffler with a 68 builds a two-shot lead over Sam Burns and Sungjae Im in Memphis
Memphis, Tenn. (AP) — Scottie Scheffler, after a shaky start on Saturday, posted a 2-under 68 to take a two-shot lead over Sam Burns and Sungjae Im in the FedEx St. Jude Championship. This victory could mark the end of a five-year streak of runner-up finishes and top 4 placements for Scheffler, who is seeking his first win of 2026.
The rivalry between Scheffler and Burns looms large as they are paired in the final group for the first time. Burns is determined to secure the win, following a close call in the U.S. Open and British Open. Im shot a 67, tying for second place at 11-under 199. Jordan Spieth, currently ranked 54th in the FedEx Cup, struggled to find his form, finishing tied for 19th and likely to be left out of the top 50 and subsequent $20 million signature events next year.
Brian Harman, who started at No. 65, also found himself in a challenging position and acknowledged the value of being part of the top 50.
