Tommy Fleetwood Leads St Jude Championship by Four Shots

Tommy Fleetwood surged to a commanding four-shot lead at the weather-delayed St. Jude Championship in Memphis with a six-under-par 64 in the second round, moving to 13-under 127 overall. Fleetwood, who is still seeking his first PGA Tour victory despite seven DP World Tour wins, completed four consecutive birdies late in his round to establish the lead and expressed optimism about his chances this weekend. Collin Morikawa and Akshay Bhatia trailed at nine under after rounds of 65 and 69 respectively, with Justin Rose also at nine under but with two holes remaining when play was suspended due to thunderstorms. Fleetwood highlighted his solid iron play and good tee shots as key factors in his strong performance, while Morikawa acknowledged the mental challenges of the game but remains confident. With the tournament resuming after a weather suspension, Fleetwood is focused on converting his lead into a first PGA Tour title. Other notable performances included Kurt Kitayama’s 63, placing him in the top five, and world No. 1 Scottie Scheffler, who is six shots off the lead and assured of advancing in the FedEx Cup playoffs.
