Rose and Spaun battled through three sudden-death holes before the first leg of the 2025 FedEx Cup Playoffs was settled

It took three playoff holes for Justin Rose to claim the title at the 2025 FedEx St. Jude Championship over J.J. Spaun on Sunday, and the thrilling finish drew a lot of eyes. NBC reported that 3.

Fleetwood, who held a two-shot lead briefly on the back nine, fell apart late and let the FedEx St. Jude Championship slip away on Sunday afternoon. That left the door open for Justin Rose, who made four straight birdies late to force a playoff with J.J. Spaun at TPC Southwind in Memphis, Tennessee.
