Scottie Scheffler preserved a two-shot lead in the third round of the FedEx St. Jude Championship on August 15, but Sam Burns absolutely blew up the course with an 8-under 62. This isn’t over yet, folks! Scheffler finished his third round at TPC Southwind with a 2-under 68, bringing his total to 13-under for the week. He’s still got the top spot, but the chasing pack just got a whole lot closer.
Burns Blazes While Scheffler Holds On
Burns’ 8-under 62 was without a doubt the lowest round of the day, a massive performance that put the heat on the leader. That kind of score in a championship round is exactly what makes things interesting. He’s now sitting just two shots back from Scheffler, tied with Sungjae Im. Im is also at 11-under, meaning we’ve got a three-horse race for the final day.
Showdown at TPC Southwind
With only one round left to play in Memphis, Scheffler’s 13-under total gives him a narrow cushion over the charging Burns and Im. The pressure is cranked all the way up for the final day at TPC Southwind. You know tomorrow is going to be an intense finish, with every shot feeling like it could decide the whole thing.
