St. Jude Championship: Fleetwood Shines with Four-Shot Lead Before Storm Halts Play

Memphis, Tennessee – England’s Tommy Fleetwood produced another outstanding performance at the St. Jude Championship, carding a six-under-par 64 to open up a four-shot lead before severe weather forced a suspension of play in the second round.

The 34-year-old, who shot a blistering 63 in the opening round, continued his fine form with seven birdies, keeping the pressure on the rest of the field. The only blemish on his scorecard came with a bogey at the 18th hole, leaving him at 13-under-par and in prime position to chase his first-ever PGA Tour victory.

Morikawa and Bhatia in Pursuit

Two-time major champion Collin Morikawa carded a solid 65, climbing to nine-under-par, where he is joined by fellow American Akshay Bhatia. Both remain well within striking distance as the FedExCup play-offs heat up in this opening event.

Rose Still in Contention

England’s Justin Rose was on the 17th tee and four shots behind Fleetwood when play was halted due to lightning. He is one of 21 players yet to complete their second round.

Weather Disruption Adds Drama

The weather suspension brought an unexpected twist to the championship. With storms in the area, play will resume once conditions improve, leaving fans eager to see if Fleetwood can maintain his dominance when the action restarts.

What’s Next

With two rounds still to go, the St. Jude Championship remains wide open. Fleetwood’s flawless form, combined with the chasing pack’s determination, sets up a thrilling weekend of golf in Memphis.
