2026 St. Jude Championship leaderboard: Jordan Spieth tied on top as FedEx Cup Playoffs get underway

Playing one pairing apart, both Michael Thorbjornsen and Jordan Spieth come in with 5-under 65s. Both caught heaters at various points in their rounds with Thorbjornsen running through the finish line by playing his final four holes in 4 under thanks to a birdie, eagle, par, birdie finish.

Meanwhile, Spieth saw his name surge up the leaderboard and stay there in the early portion of his back nine. Spieth made five birdies from Nos. 9-15, went around TPC Southwind bogey-free and still left some chances out there. The first eight holes were scratchy, but it is a great start for someone who needed it as Spieth started the week outside the top 50 in the FedEx Cup standings.
