Friday quickly became the Scottie Scheffler show, where the world's top-ranked player went low for a 9-under 61 to tie the course record at TPC Southwind.
The third round promises to be a Scheffler chase, with the FedEx St. Jude Championship veering dangerously toward a runaway on Moving Day. Sungjae Im and Viktor Hovland sit T-2, three shots back of Scheffler at 8 under through 36 holes.
Only time will tell though how the tournament ends up shaking out. One thing is for certain: There is still plenty to play for as the top 50 players in FedExCup scoring qualify for next week's BMW Championship.

Scottie Scheffler once again affirmed his position as the world's No. 1 golfer.
Scheffler carded 11 birdies on Friday, Aug. 14, during Round 2 of the PGA Tour's FedEx St. Jude Championship at TPC Southwind in Memphis, Tennessee.
Scheffler's scintillating round tied the course record of nine-under-par 61 and placed the favorite to win this year's FedEx Cup Playoffs alone atop the tournament's leaderboard heading into the weekend.
Scheffler started his round with five consecutive birdies before finally settling for par on the par-four sixth hole. A pair of bogeys on Holes 8 and 12 were the only blemishes on a scorecard that otherwise looked like a line of dots waiting to be gobbled up by Pac-Man.
You might ask, was Scheffler's round his best ever? It's debatable, as he's shot higher scores in higher-stakes rounds, including during the finals of his four major championship wins. But statistically, Scheffler's Aug. 14 performance was among the best rounds of his storied career. Here's where it ranks among Scheffler's lowest rounds, according to PGATour.com.

Ludvig Aberg is one of Scottie Scheffler's closest challengers with 36 holes left to play at the FedEx St. Jude Championship.
Scheffler was in scintillating form on Friday at the FedEx St. Jude as he fired a round of nine-under par 61.
Aberg's round of 65 was made to look rather ordinary by the 30-year-old world number one's brilliance.
Scottie Scheffler is 11-under par after two rounds of the FedEx St. Jude Championship, and he holds a three-stroke lead over Sungjae Im and Viktor Hovland, with Ludvig Aberg a further shot back.

World number one Scottie Scheffler matched the course record with a nine-under par 61 to grab a three-stroke lead after Friday's second round of the PGA St. Jude Championship.
The 30-year-old American sank 11 birdies against two bogeys to stand on 11-under 129 after 36 holes in the PGA FedEx Cup playoff opener at TPC Southwind in Memphis, Tennessee.
"I felt like I did a lot of stuff well," Scheffler said. "I gave myself a lot of looks, hit some nice iron shots and was able to make some birdies."
Four others have also fired 61s at the layout, the most recent being England's Justin Rose in 2023.
South Korean Im Sung-jae fired a 66 to stand second on 132 with Norway's Viktor Hovland. Sweden's Ludvig Aberg was another stroke adrift and Colombian Nico Echavarria, Americans Brian Harman and Jordan Spieth and England's Tommy Fleetwood, the reigning playoff champion, on 134.

MEMPHIS, TN — Scottie Scheffler tied the TPC Southwind course record Friday, Aug. 14, with a scintillating second-round 9-under 61 at the FedEx St. Jude Championship.
In doing so, the No. 1 golfer in the world rocketed to the top of the leaderboard in Memphis, sitting at 11 under after two days to grab a three-stroke lead over Sungjae Im.
Scheffler's masterful round started with five straight birdies and 11 overall. It also included a pair of bogeys (one on the front nine and one on the back).
The 30-year-old Texan shot out of the gate on fire, ripping off a string of five consecutive birdies. He also birdied six of his first seven holes and seven of the first 10. After making par on No. 11, and bogey on the 12th (after finding the water off the tee), he settled back into a groove, making birdies on three of the last four holes. His birdie putt on 18 came up just eight inches short.
Scheffler's 61 is the fifth time a professional golfer has hit that mark since the course opened in 1989. Justin Rose accomplished the feat in 2023. Tom Lewis did it in 2020, while Bob Estes did it in 2001. Jay Delsing was the first to card a 61 at TPC Southwind, doing so in 1993 (when it was a par 71 course).

Pressure from the FedExCup standings yields a variety of results.
Friday's second round in Memphis was no exemption, with its crossover of green and red arrows on the projected top 50 list of players set to be in the field at Bellerive Country Club for next week's BMW Championship.
While some battling to extend their season to St. Louis have begun to wilt in the Tennessee heat (Eric Cole, Matt McCarty), there have been others who are rising to meet the moment and are projected to be on the inside of that aforementioned list. Keith Mitchell and Jordan Spieth are a pair of players who have significantly helped their cause early this week.
Same could be said for Sunjae Im — who is the current FedEx St. Jude Championship clubhouse leader and sits two shots off Scottie Scheffler's current lead at 10 under.
To remain off the bubble for the BMW Championship, Mitchell, Im and Spieth must remain consistent over the next 36 holes. They've put themselves in great position thanks to strong opening performances at TPC Southwind.

Scottie Scheffler will tee it up at the FedEx St. Jude Championship this week in search of his second PGA Tour win of the season.
Scheffler has been incredibly consistent this season, but he will be disappointed that he has only managed one victory.
The 30-year-old world number one will obviously hope that all changes this week.
Scottie Scheffler is the favorite heading into the FedEx St. Jude Championship and he would dearly love to tuck away the 21st PGA Tour win of his career this week.

Justin Rose is proud that, having turned 46 less than two weeks ago, he enters the FedEx Cup playoffs at No. 24 and bucking the PGA Tour trend of pros in their 40s — especially the late 40s — trying to hang on to whatever status that they can manage until becoming eligible at age 50.
Rose won earlier this year at the Farmers Insurance and nearly won the Masters in April and shows little sign of losing anything off his fastball.
"I'm not really interested in sticking around and just making up the numbers and waiting for the Champions Tour or whatever that might be," he said on Tuesday in a press conference ahead of the FedEx St. Jude Championship in Memphis. "For me, it's about just really pushing myself to stay elite, to stay playing at the top end of the game, and to kind of keep giving myself and putting myself in with experiences that will create lifetime memories.
"That's only going to happen by playing in the biggest tournaments and at the highest level. That's my motivation, and if I'm not achieving that, I would sort of really question why I'm making the sacrifice away from family and friends and all the other great things that I have going on in my life."

Real Madrid will face Deportivo at the Teresa Herrera before the start of La Liga.
Many of the new faces in the Blancos squad will not be present in the tournament, as they still do not have the necessary number of training sessions under their belt.
This is José Mourinho's squad list for the match...
Courtois, Konaté, Cucurella, Diomandé, Mbappé and Tchouameni will miss it — the latter through injury — and Jude Bellingham will not be there either, as he joins up this Wednesday.

It's time for the PGA Tour's postseason.
The FedExCup Playoffs are officially here, starting with the FedEx St. Jude Championship this week in Memphis. The top 70 golfers in the standings have qualified for the tournament at TPC Southwind, though only the top 50 in the standings come Sunday night will move on.
Almost everyone is competing this week, too. Top-ranked Scottie Scheffler is back in action, and is carrying a giant lead into the postseason. He's the only golfer with more than 4,000 points in the standings, and he's got a nearly 800-point lead over the field. Naturally, Scheffler is the massive betting favorite.
Rory McIlroy isn't far behind betting-wise, either. He's back in action for the first time since the British Open, and is at No. 12 in the FedExCup standings. Tommy Fleetwood, who won the Tour Championship last season, is competing, too.
Daniel Berger is the only golfer who qualified that is not playing this week. Berger is at No. 60 in the standings, so his postseason is now over.

New week, new cut-off to advance in the FedEx Cup Playoffs.
Seventy players made it to Memphis (but only 69 are playing after Daniel Berger opted out) and the first of three legs at TPC Southwind in pursuit of the FedEx Cup and the gigantic payday that awaits the overall champion. Only 50 will move on from the St. Jude to the BMW Championship, which will be staged in St. Louis at Bellerive Country Club this year.
That makes Maverick McNealy the new "Bubble Boy" at No. 50 with Jordan Spieth, Max Homa and Jackson Koivun among the pros on the outside looking in who have work to do if they are going to advance.
This is arguably the biggest week of the playoffs because of what is at stake — the top 50 not only make their way to the next playoff event and another guaranteed payday but they lock up spots in all of the signature events for 2027. Being in those eight events offers a big head start for the 2027 season.
Here's a closer look at the cutline entering this week's no-cut, 72-hole event and what the minimum required finish for those players on the outside looking in of the top 50 to mathematically pass McNealy.

GREENSBORO, N.C. (AP) — Michael Brennan made five straight birdies to pull away from Beau Hossler and close with a 6-under 64 to win the Wyndham Championship and reach the PGA Tour's lucrative postseason.
Brennan came into the final tournament of the regular season at No. 105 in the FedEx Cup. Now his season gets extended by at least one week after his second PGA Tour ***** le in two years. The FedEx Cup playoffs start Thursday with the FedEx St. Jude Championship at the TPC Southwind in Memphis, Tennessee. Only the top 70 players advance, and Brennan shot up to No. 47.
Jackson Koivun, who left Auburn in June and won the 3M Open in only his third start, narrowly hung on to the 70th spot and goes from college to the postseason in only two months.
Brennan made birdie on the final hole to finish at 22-under 258, matching the tournament record at Sedgefield shot three other times, most recently last year by Wake Forest grad Cameron Young.
Ben James, the No. 1 player from the PGA Tour University ranking who has a card already secure for 2027, fell out of contention on Saturday but roared back with a 61 to finish third.

Ben James, the No. 1 player from the PGA Tour University ranking who has a card already secure for 2027, fell out of contention on Saturday but roared back with a 61 to finish third.

The top 70 players in the FedExCup standings get to tee off at the FedEx St. Jude Championship next week in Memphis.
Entering the Wyndham Championship, the bubble was as tight as ever with a little more than 100 points separating the 65th and 80th ranked players.
Following Friday's cut, some big moves were made on a rainy Saturday at Sedgefield Country Club.
Golf Channel is tracking how these players are doing at the end of each round, with a look at their current FedExCup position, where they stand at the Wyndham and their projected FEC ranking.

Brooks Koepka has failed to qualify for the FedExCup Playoffs following his dramatic return to the PGA Tour.
Koepka controversially rejoined the PGA Tour from LIV Golf at the start of the season, making use of the new Returning Member Program.
But his regular season has now come to an end after the Wyndham Championship, where he finished in a tie for 67th place.
That result means he hasn't done enough to finish in the top 70 for next week's FedEx St. Jude Championship, which kicks off the PGA Tour playoffs.
Koepka has since offered a brutally honest ******* sment following his exit, with his candidness now drawing plenty of praise from golf fans.

Brooks Koepka is, understandably, frustrated.
Koepka officially wrapped up his first season back on the PGA Tour on Sunday with a final-round 70 at the Wyndham Championship in North Carolina. When he hit the clubhouse, he was tied for 68th at 3-under on the week, nearly 20 shots back from the leaders at the time.
That finish means that Koepka, a five-time major championship winner who once topped the Official World Golf Rankings, will miss out on the FedExCup Playoffs entirely. Koepka is projected to finish well back from the top 70 in the season-long standings list. Only the top 70 in the FedExCup standings will make it into the field for next week's FedEx St. Jude Championship in Memphis, which is the first of the three playoff events.
"I think it's pretty pathetic that I can't get through," Koepka said after his round at Sedgefield Country Club. "[I've had] zero top 10s basically in two years. To be in the prime of your career and be as good as I think I am, I think that's very pathetic, disappointing."
Brooks Koepka returned to the PGA Tour earlier this year after a split with LIV Golf.

GREENSBORO, NC — Keegan Bradley's final round Sunday at the Wyndham Championship was reflective of his 2026 season: A little good. A little bad. A little inconsistent.
A bogey on the 18th was the final nail in the coffin of Bradley's FedEx Cup Playoff hopes, as he'll fall just a couple spots outside the top 70 to qualify for the FedEx St. Jude Championship next week in Memphis, Tennessee.
Six birdies Sunday were overshadowed by two bogeys and a double bogey as he finished with a 2-under 68 to finish at 6 under for the tournament. It followed Saturday's 1-under round that featured five birdies but four back-nine bogeys. He's projected to finish 74th in the final regular season standings.
"I played really well today and yesterday," Bradley said. "Just, I shot a couple under. Needed to shoot a lot lower obviously."
Bradley snaps a streak of 15 straight playoff appearances, which was second behind Jason Day's 18. Day, too, will miss the FedEx Cup Playoffs after missing the cut Friday.

After failing to advance to the FedExCup Playoffs, Brooks Koepka did not mince words.
"I think it's pretty pathetic that I can't get through," Koepka said after carding an even-par 70 Sunday morning at Sedgefield Country Club to wrap up a 74-70 weekend at the Wyndham Championship.
Koepka shared 70th place when he finished his round, well shy of the minimum solo-fourth performance he needed to move inside the top 70 and qualify for next week's FedEx St. Jude Championship.
"Ball-struck it great," Koepka said. "It's just all on the greens. I don't know what the deal is, got zero confidence, can't putt. I don't know. There's going to be a lot of changes here soon."
Entering the Wyndham ranking 116th in strokes gained putting, Koepka was 68th out of 81 players who made the cut this week.

The 2026 World Cup was a tournament where the game's true superstars stood up to be counted. Football's biggest names all spent time in the spotlight in North America, so what better time to take stock of who might be the game's top talent?
We've attempted to rank the 10 best footballers in the world right now.
It's crazy to think some were suggesting thatJude Bellingham shouldn't be in the England team ahead of the World Cup. Sure, his season at Real Madrid was modest by the standards he's set, but in North America Bellingham showed that the England team should be built around him.
Bellingham is at his best crashing the box, but he puts in the hard yards defensively too. There's, arguably, not a midfielder around who could play six, eight, or ten with such ease. Seven goals this summer made his World Cup the most prolific by an Englishman, ever.
Michael Olise saw off competition from Harry Kane and Luis Diaz to end last season as Bayern Munich and the Bundesliga's Player of the Season.

Patrick Cantlay became the fifth player to withdraw from this week's Wyndham Championship since the field was announced at the traditional PGA Tour Friday deadline.
Cantlay tied for eighth Sunday at the Rocket Classic, his fourth top 10 and ninth top 25 of the 2026 season. He's currently 41st in the FedEx Cup Playoffs standings, which puts him through to not only the first postseason event next week, the FedEx St. Jude Championship, but also Week 2's BMW Championship.
If PGA Tour players WD before a tournament starts, they're not required to provide a reason.
Other Wyndham withdrawals since the field was announced:
Saturday, Aug. 1: Kristoffer Reitan (WD), Kristoffer Ventura (IN); Brendon Todd (WD), Matt Kuchar (IN)

Just hours after winning the Rocket Classic in Detroit for his first PGA Tour victory, Michael Thorbjornsen withdrew from the Wyndham Championship on Sunday night.
The 24-year-old Stanford alum shot a career-low 63 in the final round to erase a four-stroke deficit at the start of the day and get into the winner's circle in his 65th career Tour start. The 500 FedEx Cup points lifted him from No. 69 in the season-long standings and just inside the cut-off line for the playoffs to No. 31 and safely into the BMW Championship.
Thorbjornsen had played four of the last five Tour events. It's the age-old dilemma: rest or ride the momentum? Thorbjornsen opted to celebrate his achievement and gear up for making a playoff run.
The top 70 players in the FedEx Cup standings will qualify for the first event of the playoffs, the FedEx St. Jude Championship (Aug. 13-16). The top 50 advance to the next week and the BMW Championship at Bellerive in St. Louis; the top 30 make it to East Lake in Atlanta for the Tour Championship.
Thorbjornsen's withdrawal is good news for at least one player: Justin Lower, the first alternate, is officially in the field and needs a win to have any shot at the playoffs. He's No. 174 in the FedEx Cup.

Mariners open to bold Randy Arozarena decision at MLB trade deadline originally appeared on The Sporting News. Add The Sporting News as a Preferred Source by clicking here.
The Seattle Mariners entered the 2026 MLB season expected to contend for a World Series and, at the very least, make the postseason.
But now with a 53-58 record with just two games until the MLB trade deadline, there are some serious question marks about the club. This team might not be a contender like many would've thought.
That change in mindset and outlook for Seattle might be best seen by the report from Adam Jude of The Seattle Times. Reportedly, the Mariners are now listening to offers for outfielder Randy Arozarena in what might be a sign the team is open to selling.
"The Mariners are listening on Randy Arozarena and George Kirby as a shift in the club's thinking could take shape in the final 48 hours before Monday's trade deadline," Jude reports.
