Is this the year for Justin Thomas to dominate the St. Jude Championship and silence his critics?

With only 18 holes to go and the first event of the FedExCup Playoffs, the St. Jude Championship will come to an end. The top 70 players from the PGA Tour started at TPC Southwind but only 50 will move on to the BMW Championship next week. One person who will undoubtedly be at the second playoff event is Scottie Scheffler.

As always, world no. 1 Scottie Scheffler sits in the top 5 at T4 after three rounds concluded at TPC Southwind. He has been paired with the defining champion, Viktor Hovland, who has lately found his form and is solo third on the leaderboard after the moving day’s conclusion. The two will start their final round at 1:30 p.m. EST. Who has taken the lead after 54 holes?

The bronze medalist from the 2024 Summer Olympics, Hideki Matsuyama, has dominated the field after shooting three rounds of 65-64-64 to be 17 under and the solo clubhouse leader. He has been paired with 2-time PGA Tour winner and Tour rookie Nick Dunlap, who follows him at second with a score of 12 under. The two will tee up at 1:40 p.m. EDT. Tee times and pairings for the rest of the field are below.
