  "account": "Memphis witnessed a dominant victory by Scottie Scheffler in the FedEx St. Jude Championship on Sunday. The golfer finished with a final-round 4-under-par 66 and secured an eight-stroke win over runner-up Si Woo Kim of South Korea at TPC Southwind. This marked Scheffler's first victory since January, despite having several close calls throughout the year. He attributed his success to playing solid golf and making fewer mistakes with his irons and greens. None of the other contenders made a significant push on Sunday, as Scheffler's lead expanded from two strokes to five midway through the round. Sam Burns and Alex Noren tied for third place, while Jordan Spieth failed to advance to the next stage of the FedEx Cup playoffs.",
