Golf: Fresh off winning gold at the Paris Olympics, Scottie Scheffler has continued his stellar form, making a strong start at the St. Jude championship.
Hideki Matsuyama has showed nerves of steel after almost blowing a five-stroke lead in the final round of the 2024 St. Jude Championship to claim a two-shot victory.
Still, Matsuyama was in a strong position, especially as Dunlap started to have issues of his own converting from close range, missing a seven-foot birdie to stay four off the lead.Source: AFP Hovland had six birdies and two bogeys on the day to rise up the leaderboard but it was Schauffele’s rise to contention that was particularly impressive given he started the round nine behind Matsuyama.
He did not have the lead though, with Matsuyama recovering to drain a clutch birdie from beyond 25 feet on the 17th, giving him a one-stroke lead heading into the final — and most difficult — hole on the course. He hit a four-under par 66 on the final round to finish in a tie for 22nd at four-under overall, but that was only good enough to see him sit 60th in the FedEx Cup standings.
Scott fired a three-under par 67 in the final round to finish in a tie for 18th on the leaderboard, moving him up to 41st in the FedEx Cup standings.
