PGA Tour Brunch | FedEx St. Jude
Moving Day Coverage of the '26 FedEx St. Jude Championship
MEMPHIS - Scottie Scheffler (1st/-11), the World No. 1, carded the low round of the day with a 9-under (61) via 11 birdies and two bogeys. Scheffler became the ninth player on TOUR in the ShotLink Era (since 2003) to score 61 or better with multiple bogeys or worse in the same round - the first since Justin Rose’s final-round 60 at the 2022 RBC Canadian Open.
Scheffler opened the second round with five consecutive birdies on Nos. 1-5, en route to a front-nine (30). He tied the tournament course record, previously recorded by four players (most recent: Justin Rose, 2023/R3).
Tournament Notes:
Sungjae Im (T2/-8) opened the second round with three consecutive birdies on Nos. 1-3 and finishes with his second 66 of the week, tying his best 36-hole score at the FedEx St. Jude Championship (132/2023). Im owns four finishes of T17 or better in seven starts in the event (best: T6/2023).
Viktor Hovland (T2/-8) carded a bogey-free 64, tied for his second best 18-hole score in 26 career rounds at TPC Southwind (best: 63, 2024 FedEx St. Jude Championship/R2/finished T2); marks his third time this season sitting T2 or better after 36 holes and the first since the 2026 Travelers Championship that he went on to win.
In addition to Hovland, four other players recorded bogey-free rounds Friday: Tommy Fleetwood (T5/-6), Brian Harman (T5/-6), Alex Noren (T19/-3), Aaron Rai (T27/-2)
FedExCup Playoffs:
Following this week’s FedEx St. Jude Championship, the top 50 players in the FedExCup standings will advance to next week’s BMW Championship (Bellerive Country Club in St. Louis, Missouri) and also qualify for all 2027 Signature Events.
