Late birdies push Justin Thomas past Brooks Koepka to win WGC-FedEx St. Jude Invitational

There were eight different players within a single shot of the lead midway through the final round at TPC Southwind on Sunday afternoon.

Yet thanks to a wild birdie save, followed by a second birdie on the following hole, Justin Thomas pushed past Brooks Koepka to claim the World Golf Championships-FedEx St. Jude Invitational title — his third of the season.

His win lifted him to the top spot in the Official World Golf Rankings, too, overtaking Jon Rahm.

“[This win] means a lot, especially with how I felt like I did it,” Thomas said on CBS.
