Justin Rose Edges J.J. Spaun in Playoff to Win FedEx St. Jude Championship

His six-birdie surge in the final holes secured a $3.6 million winner’s check; it also vaulted him back into the world top 10, locking up a Ryder Cup berth.

Overview

  • Rose carded a three-under 67 with six birdies in his last eight holes to force a sudden-death playoff.
  • He birdied the par-5 18th on the third extra hole to defeat recent U.S. Open champion J.J. Spaun.
  • The victory marked Rose’s 12th PGA Tour title and his first win since the 2023 AT&T Pro-Am.
  • Tommy Fleetwood relinquished a two-stroke 54-hole lead after bogeys on 16 and 17, prolonging his quest for a first PGA Tour title.
  • The result cut the FedEx Cup field to 50 for next week’s BMW Championship, leaving Emiliano Grillo outside the advance line.
