Jordan Spieth stumbles late, fails to qualify for BMW Championship after disappointing finish at TPC Southwind
Jordan Spieth will finish outside of the top 50 in the FedExCup standings after his finish at the FedEx St. Jude Championship.
Jordan Spieth missed the cut at the FedEx St. Jude Championship, preventing him from advancing to the BMW Championship in St. Louis. During his final round at TPC Southwind, Spieth made two consecutive bogeys, including one after a difficult shot on the par-3 11th hole. Despite posting an even-par 70 for the week, finishing at 4-under, Spieth ended the tournament tied for 20th place.
This result left him projected to finish 52nd in the FedExCup standings, as only the top 50 advance to the BMW Championship. Spieth entered the week ranked 54th in the FedExCup standings, having yet to win on the PGA Tour this season or finish inside the top 10. Earlier in the week, Spieth had shown improvement, opening with a strong 5-under 65 and briefly hovering around the top 50 mark.
However, a poor performance on the 11th hole, combined with another bogey on the 15th, ultimately cost him his chance to advance.
