Jordan Spieth misses out on advancing in PGA Tour postseason by one shot

winnipegfreepress.com ·

Memphis, Tenn. (AP) — Jordan Spieth missed the opportunity to advance in the PGA Tour postseason by one shot. Spieth aimed for a 67 in the final round of the FedEx St. Jude Championship, believing it would secure him a spot in the top 50 of the FedEx Cup and advance to the upcoming tournaments. However, a score of 69 would have been enough for him to advance.

Spieth closed with three consecutive pars, finishing with an even-par 70. Keith Mitchell, who started at No. 49, narrowly missed advancing, finishing with a 72. Mitchell, who had never been among the top 30 to reach the Tour Championship, made bogey on the 18th hole, which proved to be the difference-maker.
