Fleetwood Leads FedEx St. Jude Championship at 13-Under as Storm Halts Play

Storm-halted conditions at TPC Southwind have put FedEx Cup cuts on hold ahead of the weekend’s finish

Overview

  • Tommy Fleetwood surged to a second-round 64 for a 36-hole total of 127 (-13), vaulting four strokes clear of Collin Morikawa and Akshay Bhatia on the leaderboard.
  • Play was suspended at 3:31 p.m. due to thunderstorms, leaving several players with unfinished second rounds and delaying the FedEx Cup standings.
  • Kurt Kitayama carded the low score of the day with a 63 in the second round, moving into the top five and strengthening his playoff position.
  • Akshay Bhatia, who opened with a career-best 62, sits 45th in the FedEx Cup points list and is assured of advancing to the next playoff stage.
  • TPC Southwind’s thicker rough and newly installed greens have added strategic challenges, testing players’ iron accuracy and short-game touch.
