Overview
- Scheffler won the FedEx St. Jude Championship by eight shots at TPC Southwind on Sunday, finishing 17‑under and closing with a 4‑under 66.
- During the final round a bunker shot struck a sprinkler and bounced into the water to cost him a bogey but he recovered with five birdies to pull away.
- The win moved Scheffler to the top of the FedExCup standings, secured his spot on the U.S. Presidents Cup team, and added a reported prize of about $3.6 million.
- Rivals praised his ball striking and putting as elite and steadying after a season of close calls, while Rory McIlroy said he felt 'lost' with his swing after a poor week and plans to regroup before Bellerive.
- With the top 50 now set for the BMW Championship and 30 advancing to the Tour Championship, Scheffler’s form gives him momentum though the Tour Championship no longer awards starting‑stroke advantages.
