Overview
- Scottie Scheffler won the FedEx St. Jude Championship by eight shots, finishing 17‑under and earning $3.6 million for his 21st PGA Tour title.
- He took control with a second‑round 61 and led wire‑to‑wire, and his putting performance was the tournament’s best for the week according to strokes‑gained metrics.
- Scheffler survived a freak moment when a bunker shot hit a sprinkler head and rolled into the water on the third hole, recovering to post a final‑round 66 on Sunday.
- Sam Burns, Scheffler’s close friend and final‑round playing partner, began the day two shots back after a 62 but shot 73 and finished tied for third.
- The victory padded Scheffler’s FedExCup points lead and reshapes the playoff picture ahead of the BMW Championship, while top players such as Rory McIlroy acknowledged form concerns after a poor week.
