The 2025 FedEx St. Jude Championship has moved to the weekend at TPC Southwind in Memphis. This is the first stage of the FedEx Cup Playoffs. But the second round still needs to be completed. Bad weather rolled into the Memphis area Friday and at 3:31 p.m. local time (4:31 p.m. ET) play was suspended. About 90 minutes later it was called for the day. The par-70, 7,288-yard course is hosting the top 69 (Rory McIlroy chose to skip) golfers in the FedEx Cup standings. The tournament's defending champion, Hideki Matsuyama, is in the field.

Still seeking his first PGA Tour title in what is now his 162nd career start, Fleetwood had four straight birdies on the back nine two days in a row now. His lone bogey Friday at No. 18 is the only thing that kept the Englishman from posting back-to-back 63s. Cameron Young ended his PGA Tour victory drought a week ago. Is this week Fleetwood's time to win? "We'll see. Happy to put myself in with a chance over the weekend. I think that's exactly where you want to be and keep testing yourself," said the six-time PGA Tour runner-up. "Yeah, it hasn't happened for me yet out on the PGA Tour, but I would much rather be up there and not quite get it done than not there at all, and who knows, maybe this weekend is the weekend and we'll see, and we'll crack on from there. But look forward to tomorrow first."

Tommy Fleetwood leads St. Jude in search of first PGA Tour title

WASHINGTON – England's Tommy Fleetwood positioned himself to strike for a first PGA Tour title this weekend, firing a six-under 64 to take a four-shot lead in the weather-hit second round of the St. Jude Championship in Memphis, Tennessee. The Briton used birdie bursts early and late on TPC Southwind to build a 36-hole total of 13-under 127. He had a four-shot lead over overnight leader Akshay Bhatia, Collin Morikawa and Justin Rose when play was suspended for the day because of thunderstorms. Morikawa fired a five-under 65 and was joined in the clubhouse on nine-under 131 by fellow American Bhatia, who posted a 69. Rose was nine-under with two holes remaining when the sudden storm brought the round to a halt, organisers suspending play for the day two hours later. Fleetwood, a seven-time winner on the DP World Tour, has six runner-up finishes on the US tour, including a playoff loss to US Ryder Cup captain Keegan Bradley at the Travelers Championship in June. 'Maybe this weekend is the weekend,' he said. 'It hasn't happened for me yet on the PGA Tour, but I would much rather be up there and not quite get it done than not there at all.' He started the day one shot off the lead and got going early with birdies at the second, third and fourth. He then dropped a 16-foot birdie putt at the 13th to launch a run of four straight birdies, and had plenty of cushion even after a closing bogey at 18. 'Those were two nice runs to get on,' Fleetwood added of his birdie bursts. 'Yesterday I felt like I stayed very patient, and then today after a hot start I wasn't feeling that comfortable with my swing, so actually then to get on a run after that – I hit great shots into 13, 14, I played those holes really, really well, played them perfect.' Two-time Major winner Morikawa climbed the leaderboard with a round highlighted by a hole out for eagle from the fairway at the ninth. For Bhatia, coming off a career-best round of 62, it was a frustrating day. After two birdies and a bogey in the first four holes he made all pars the rest of the way. World No. 1 Scottie Scheffler, coming off his fourth Major title at the Open Championship at Royal Portrush, was also frustrated on the way to a four-under 66 that featured eight birdies and four bogeys. It left him six shots off the lead. AFP
