Scottie Scheffler<\/a> shot a 4-under 66 on Sunday to finish at 17-under and win the FedEx St. Jude Championship in Memphis by eight strokes.<\/p>\n

The victory marks Scheffler’s first win since his season-opening start in January at The American Express.<\/p>\n

Si Woo Kim<\/a> finished 9-under for a 68 in Round 4, with Alex Noren<\/a> and American Sam Burns<\/a> both a stroke behind in a tie for third.<\/p>\n

Scheffler led by two entering the final round. He last held a 54-hole lead at the 2025 Open Championship, 392 days ago.<\/p>\n

The World No. 1 tied the TPC Southwind course record Friday with a 9-under 61.<\/p>\n

The top 50 in the FedEx Cup standings will compete at the BMW Championship. That group is also assured entry into each of the $20-million signature events next year.<\/p>\n

Notables who didn’t advance include Jordan Spieth, Max Homa, Shane Lowry, and Jackson Koivun. No Canadians made the top 50.<\/p>\n

Sungjae Im was the only golfer to play his way into the BMW Championship field. He entered the weekend 53rd and jumped to 40th in the FedEx Cup standings with his T-3 finish in Memphis.<\/p>\n
