Sungjae Im Plays Way Into FedEx Cup Top 50; Jordan Spieth Knocked Out
A 2-over 72 left Spieth outside the projected top 50, and he needs a strong final round to reach the BMW Championship.
- Jordan Spieth faces elimination from the PGA Tour's FedExCup Playoffs after falling outside the top 50 projected qualifiers at the St. Jude Championship, needing a solo 23rd finish to advance to the BMW Championship.

- "I just ran out of steam," Spieth said, as he recorded three bogeys and one birdie between holes 11-15 at TPC Southwind in Memphis during the critical stretch.
- Other notable players who failed to advance included Max Homa and rookie Jackson Koivun, while Sungjae Im of South Korea successfully played his way into the second leg of the playoffs.
- Despite the setback, Spieth remains confident in his game, stating, "I know next year is going to be an awesome year for me" as he focuses on long-term development.
