PGA Tour

Scottie Scheffler returned to dominant form Sunday, winning the FedEx St. Jude Championship by eight shots to open the PGA Tour postseason in Memphis. The world No. 1's commanding victory marked his first win since the Masters in April, sending a clear message to the rest of the field. Rory McIlroy struggled in contrast, carding a 66th-place finish — 25 strokes behind Scheffler — and admitted afterward that he "felt lost" during the tournament. The result raises questions about McIlroy's approach heading into the remaining FedEx Cup playoffs events.

FedEx Cup Playoffs

Keith Mitchell and Jordan Spieth both saw their postseason runs end Sunday after hitting shots into the water on the final holes at TPC Southwind. The dramatic exits marked a disappointing conclusion for both former champions, with neither able to advance to the next stage of the FedEx Cup playoffs. Their departures open the door for other contenders to make deeper runs in the remaining events.
