MEMPHIS, Tenn. — Hideki Matsuyama lost a five-shot lead in four holes and responded with birdies on two of the toughest holes on the course to salvage an even-par 70 and a two-shot victory Sunday in the FedEx St. Jude Championship.
Xander Schauffele started nine shots behind and waited to see if he would get in a playoff. Hovland had a one-shot lead with two holes to play.Staked to a five-shot lead at the start of the day, he went 27 straight holes without a bogey and led by five when he rolled in a 20-foot birdie putt on the 11th.
Hovland, however, took bogey from the bunker on the 17th hole — the third-toughest at the TPC Southwind in the final round — and missed a 9-foot birdie chance on the 18th for a 66.Taylor Pendrith of Richmond Hill, Ont., was the top Canadian at 6 under. Both split the middle of the fairway. Dunlap hit his approach to just outside 20 feet, while Matsuyama boldly took dead aim at the flag to 6 feet for another birdie.
The 50th and final spot went to Ryder Cup captain Keegan Bradley, who was projected just outside the cutoff for so much of Sunday.
