MEMPHIS, Tenn. (AP) — J.J. Spaun is the leader going into the weekend at the FedEx St. Jude Championship. More noteworthy is who’s no longer at the TPC Southwind. Masters champion Scottie Scheffler missed the cut as the No. 1 seed. So did Rory McIlroy and Jordan Spieth. At least they get to play next week in the FedEx Cup playoffs. It’s the end of the road for Jason Day. The former world No. 1 bogeyed five of his last eight holes and missed the cut. Only the top 70 advance to next week. Day is among 31 players below that line who missed the cut.
