Injuries usually slow a player and limit effectiveness, but that wasn’t the case with Denny McCarthy during Friday‘s FedEx St. Jude Championship at TPC Southwind.
McCarthy was one of the day’s standouts and sitting atop the leaderboard with Hideki Matsuyama at 11-under-par through two rounds. The list has a mix of popular names who were expected to be in the hunt along with some surprise performers.
With temperatures rising as high as 96 degrees and the sun beating down wherever a tree couldn’t provide protection, players need to keep their cool physically just as much as mentally.
THIRD ROUND: PGA Tour tee times, schedule for FedEx St. Jude Championship: Round 3 groupings
Here is a look at the winners and losers from Friday.
Winners
Denny McCarthy’s resolve
It’s going to take more than a hip injury to stop McCarthy. The 31-year-old tied with Viktor Hovland and Sam Burns for the best round, shooting a 63 on Friday. McCarthy pulled it off by adjusting his swing to manage the pain while also getting around-the-clock treatment. McCarthy is tied for the overall lead with Hideki Matsuyama at 11 under.
Scottie Scheffler’s consistency
Matsuyama and McCarthy may have the lead, but world No. 1 Scottie Scheffler is lurking closely behind. Scheffler’s position is notable because he has been the most consistent PGA Tour player this season. The Paris Olympics gold medal winner shot a 66 on Thursday and 65 on Friday. It wasn’t the best performance of the day, but his ability to constantly put together elite rounds gives the leading competition no margin for error.
Viktor Hovland stays alive
Hovland’s big day wasn’t just because he shot 7 under, but he also had one of the best responses from Round 1, when he shot a 70. His big follow-up performance not only has him back in the hunt, but his projected points rank for the FedEx Cup Playoffs is now 43rd. That’s noteworthy considering only the top 50 in the FedEx St. Jude Championship advance in the playoffs.
An unidentified Memphis insect
The best athletes tend to have a killer’s instinct in crunch time, but that’s not the case for Scheffler. Before his second shot on No. 16, Scheffler and his golf ball had some uninvited company. He wasn’t able to identify what type of insect it was, but he had no interest in killing the creature. The bug ended up flying away.
“It was entertaining because I grabbed both of its wings very gently,” Scheffler said. “I was able to grab it off the ball and it was trying to flutter as I had it by its wings so you could kind of feel it moving. I just wanted to make sure I put it away from my ball so it wouldn’t be going back on my ball.”
Losers
Max Homa’s back nine
Max Homa’s day was easily the worst. He shot a 78, three shots worse than anyone else in the field. He was 1 under Thursday, so the stark drop is puzzling. Most of the damage was done on the back nine, where he shot 42. Homa is now 42nd in the projected points rankings.
Rory McIlroy
Rory McIlroy gave his best poker face when his birdie attempt on the 15th hole hit the edge of the cup and spun away. He followed that with a bogey on No. 16. It was just that kind of day for the four-time major winner. McIlroy finished with a 73 after carding a 68 on Thursday.
