MEMPHIS, Tenn. – Tommy Fleetwood didn’t have much time to process what happened on Sunday at The Open, and he picked up where he left off with a front-nine 30 on Saturday at the WGC-FedEx St. Jude Invitational to move into the hunt at TPC Southwind.
Fleetwood, last week’s runner-up at Royal Portrush, got off to scorching start with birdies at Nos. 1, 2, 4, 6 and 8 thanks to 46 feet of putts made on those holes. Although he closed with an even-par back nine, his 5-under 65 moved him into the top 10.
