Tommy Fleetwood Leads FedEx St. Jude Championship by Four Shots

Tommy Fleetwood holds a commanding four-shot lead at the halfway point of the St. Jude Championship, sitting at 13-under after rounds of 63 and 64, seeking his first PGA Tour victory. Fleetwood has been in strong form, particularly on the back nine, where he birdied four consecutive holes in the second round, while competitors like Justin Rose, Collin Morikawa, and Akshay Bhatia trail at nine under. World No. 1 Scottie Scheffler, currently tied for seventh at seven under, remains a formidable contender despite a challenging second round that included multiple bogeys due to missed fairways. The FedEx Cup playoffs bubble is intensifying, with players such as Kurt Kitayama and Bud Cauley making significant moves into the top 50, while Jordan Spieth and others have slipped, increasing pressure ahead of the BMW Championship. Fleetwood’s pursuit is marked by his consistent iron play and putting, and he aims to join the ranks of PGA Tour winners after numerous top-10 finishes without a victory. Meanwhile, the leaderboard battle for playoff spots continues to shift, promising an exciting weekend as players strive to secure their positions for next week's BMW Championship.
