2023 FedEx St. Jude Championship: Round 2 Friday tee times, pairings, and featured groups

Jordan Spieth chipped in for eagle to take the first-round lead at the FedEx St. Jude Championship, the first leg of the FedEx Cup playoffs, on Thursday in Memphis.

Spieth’s eagle at the par-5 16th hole at a rain-logged TPC Southwind vaulted him into the driver’s seat at 7 under, and he made two pars to finish off a bogey-free 63.

Tom Kim of South Korea is in second at 6-under 64, and Collin Morikawa and Argentina’s Emiliano Grillo are tied for third at 5-under 65. Lucas Glover, who qualified for the playoffs by winning last week’s Wyndham Championship, is part of a massive tie at 4-under 66.

The top 70 players from the season-long FedEx Cup points race earned berths into the playoffs, and only the top 50 in the standings after this tournament will advance to next week’s BMW Championship. There is no 36-hole cut at the FedEx St. Jude Championship for the first time.

FedEx Cup points leader Jon Rahm of Spain had a double bogey and four bogeys en route to a forgettable, 3-over 73, putting him tied for 65th. Were he to finish the tournament that far down the leaderboard, he is still projected to hold onto the No. 1 spot. Scottie Scheffler and Rory McIlroy of Northern Ireland, entering the week Nos. 2 and 3, each shot 3-under 67 on Thursday.
