Justin Rose outlasted U.S. Open champion J.J. Spaun in a three-hole playoff to win the FedEx St. Jude Championship, the first leg of the FedExCup Playoffs. Rose, the 2018 FedExCup champion, started the day one shot back of Tommy Fleetwood and made up a three-shot deficit over the last five holes, making birdie on four consecutive holes down the stretch to force a playoff.

Fleetwood, who held a two-shot lead stepping onto the 16th tee at TPC Southwind, flailed with a sloppy par then made bogey on No. 17 to finish one shot out of the playoff. His pursuit of a first PGA TOUR win remains ongoing. World No. 1 and FedExCup frontrunner Scottie Scheffler carded a final-round 67 to finish T3, his 12th consecutive top-eight finish.

The FedExCup top-50 bubble drama also unfolded Sunday, with Rickie Fowler among those advancing to next week's BMW Championship. All 50 qualifiers secured spots in 2026 Signature Events, but next on the line is their place in the 30-man TOUR Championship.

Nice to know that hasn't left me at this ripe old age,” – Justin Rose, 45, after securing his first win since the 2023 AT&T Pebble Beach Pro-Am
