ATLANTA - Patrick Cantlay (T1/-16) earned his seventh career 54-hole lead/co-lead on TOUR with the most recent leading role at the 2024 Genesis Invitational/finished T4). Cantlay is 3-for-6 converting to victory with the wins coming at: 2022 BMW Championship, 2021 TOUR Championship, 2021 BMW Championship.
Cantlay is seeking his ninth career PGA TOUR victory and first since the 2022 BMW Championship. Interestingly, three of his last four PGA TOUR titles have come in FedEx Cup Playoffs events: 2022 BMW Championship, 2021 TOUR Championship, 2021 BMW Championship.
The 2021 FedExCup Champion seeks to become the third player with two or more FedExCup titles (Tiger Woods/2007, 2009; Rory McIlroy/2016, 2019, 2022).
Tommy Fleetwood (T1/-16) sits with his fourth career 54-hole lead/co-lead on TOUR and third this season (most recent: 2025 FedEx St. Jude Championship/finished T3).
Fleetwood is one of three players this season with three or more 54-hole leads/co-leads:
Scottie Scheffler (4): THE CJ CUP Byron Nelson/Won, PGA Championship/Won, the Memorial Tournament presented by Workday/Won, The Open Championship/Won
Sepp Straka (3): The American Express/Won, AT&T Pebble Beach Pro-Am/T7, Truist Championship/Won
Tommy Fleetwood (3): Travelers Championship/T2, FedEx St. Jude Championship/T3, and this weekend.
Notes:
Our 36-hole co-leader, Russell Henley (3rd/-14), has come from behind in the final round in three of his five PGA TOUR victories (2025 Arnold Palmer Invitational presented by Mastercard/1 stroke, 2017 Texas Children’s Houston Open/4
strokes, 2014 Cognizant Classic/2 strokes).
Henley seeks his first multiple-win season.
After an even-par 70 in the opening round, U.S. Ryder Cup Captain Keegan Bradley (4th/-13) posts 64-63, with the latter the low round of the day. Bradley’s (63) ties his low 18-hole score of the season (R3/Travelers Championship/Won).
Reigning FedExCup Champion Scottie Scheffler (5th/-12) posts 66 for his 20th consecutive round in the 60s, one shy of Cantlay’s record of 21. Scheffler trailed by four strokes through three rounds of last week’s BMW Championship before
going on to win. He could become the first player (since 1983) to win on TOUR in consecutive weeks when trailing by four or more strokes entering the final round.
Scheffler seeks to become the first player to win back-to-back FedExCup titles and the third player to win multiple FedEx Cup titles (Tiger Woods/2007, 2009; Rory McIlroy/2016, 2019, 2022), as noted above.
There was no cut this weekend as the TOUR Championship has 30 players.
