There's more than prize money on the line as Scottie Scheffler takes a two-stroke lead into the final round of the FedEx St. Jude Championship on Sunday, Aug. 16.
The golfers who qualified for the season-ending FedEx Cup playoffs will need to make it into the top 50 in the points standings to move on to next week's BMW Championship. Doing so will give them an opportunity to ... win more money. So yes, the financial incentives are significant as the players look to go low at TPC Southwind in Memphis.
Sam Burns, who shot 62 on Saturday, is tied with Sungjae Im for second place at 11 under as Sunday's round begins. Tommy Fleetwood and Jake Knapp are at minus 8, five strokes behind Scheffler.
