Moving Day at the FedEx St. Jude Championship saw Sam Burns make a significant charge, carding an impressive 8-under 62. This stellar performance has placed him directly in contention for the title, sitting just two strokes behind leader Scottie Scheffler. Burns' impressive round included seven birdies, with a crucial one on the 15th hole.
This sets up a highly anticipated final pairing between the two good friends. Brandel Chamblee noted that Burns' play on Saturday was reminiscent of Scheffler's own strong performance the previous day. While Burns led in strokes gained approach and putting, Scheffler also showed strong form.
The close proximity of the two players suggests a competitive Sunday. However, Chamblee also pointed out that Sungjae Im could potentially emerge as a dark horse. The gap between Scheffler and Burns and those in fourth place or better highlights the potential for an explosive finish.
