Jordan Spieth carded four birdies and two bogeys on the front nine of the second round and two birdies and two bogeys on the back nine to settle with a score of 68. He made three birdies and one bogey on Saturday to finish with a total of 11 under 199.

Speaking about his performance at St.Jude Championship, Spieth said via Golf.com:

"I didn’t feel like I was stepping into any putt thinking like par or birdie, and thinking it was different from the other, which is really a good sign. I don’t want to feel like I have to make the par putts, and then you don’t on the birdie. I want them to all feel the same."

Lucas Glover topped the leaderboard of the 2023 FedEx St. Jude Championship followed by Taylor Moore and Tommy Fleetwood.

Jordan Spieth tied for fourth place with 2023 Farmers Insurance Open winner Max Homa. Rory McIlroy finished in a six-way tie in sixth place with Sungjae Im, Tom Kim, Patrick Cantlay, Viktor Hovland, and Emiliano Grillo.
