Sungjae Im of South Korea successfully advanced to the second leg of the PGA Tour's FedEx Cup playoffs, the BMW Championship, despite a final-round stumble. His tie for fifth at the FedEx St. Jude Championship was enough to lift him from 53rd to 40th in the FedEx Cup points standings.
Jordan Spieth, who held a share of the lead after the first round, ultimately missed the necessary mark to qualify. After a disappointing weekend performance, Spieth finished T19, placing him 52nd in points and second outside the top 50 cutoff.
Several other notable golfers also failed to advance. Keith Mitchell dropped from 49th to 51st, and Matt McCarty slipped from 48th to the 50th spot. Max Homa, Harris English, Corey Conners, Shane Lowry, Brian Harman, and Jackson Koivun were among the other prominent players who did not qualify for the BMW Championship.
