Fleetwood Leads, But the Field is Hot on His Heels

After a steady round of 69 on Saturday, Tommy Fleetwood (-14) maintains his slender lead at the FedEx St. Jude Championship. However, the Englishman has yet to stamp his authority on the tournament, with several big names lurking just a few strokes behind.

“I haven’t done anything wrong, but I haven’t quite made the score I should have,” Fleetwood admitted. He’s right; his lead could easily evaporate on the final day, with a plethora of talent nipping at his heels.

Scheffler, Im, and Morikawa Chase Fleetwood

  • Scottie Scheffler (-13) is in contention once again, three shots off the lead after a third-round 67. The world number one seems poised to make a serious run at capturing his fourth PGA Tour win of the season.
  • KYim Si-who (-12) and Collin Morikawa (-12) are also well within striking distance, each with a round of 68 on Saturday. Both will fancy their chances of catching Fleetwood.

What’s at Stake?

The FedEx St. Jude Championship is the first event of the FedExCup Playoffs, and the winner will take home a whopping $18 million prize. With so much on the line, expect a compressed leaderboard and nerve-wracking golf on Sunday.
