The final round of the FedEx St. Jude Championship was far more interesting than first anticipated, with Hideki Matsuyama coughing up a big lead on the back nine, Viktor Hovland contending for the first time in months, Nick Dunlap fighting his way into the signature events ... and Xander Schauffele and Scottie Scheffler lurking.
Matsuyama eventually prevailed to take the first of three FedEx Cup playoff events, Hovland showed form that has been missing, Dunlap—who was winning the U.S. Amateur a year ago—held firm with the big boys and Schauffele closed the gap a bit on Scheffler in the FedEx Cup standings.
