FedEx St. Jude Classic 2020: Brooks Koepka Leads After Strong 1st Round

Brooks Koepka leads a loaded field through Round 1 at the World Golf Championships-FedEx St. Jude Invitational.

The 30-year-old shot 62 Thursday at TPC Southwind, enough to move eight stokes under par and hold a two-stroke lead after the first round. There will remain plenty of competition over the next three rounds, however, with big names like Rickie Fowler, Justin Thomas, Phil Mickelson, Bryson DeChambeau and more within striking distance.

With a $10.5 million total purse and each of the top eight players in the world rankings competing in this event, this is certain to be a competitive week in Memphis.
