Who is leading the 2023 St. Jude FedEx Championship after Round 1? Day 1 leaderboard explored

FedEx St. Jude Championship - Round One
Jordan Spieth, St. Jude FedEx Championship - Round One

The 2023 St. Jude FedEx Championship experienced an intense first day. The high competitiveness that was expected was more than present, with Jordan Spieth leading by only one stroke and 46 players with scores under par.

American Spieth played an excellent first round at the St. Jude FedEx Championship. He had five birdies and a spectacular eagle on the 16th hole. That performance gave him a score of 7-under 63 to take first place.

Second place was taken by Tom Kim, another player with an excellent performance on the first day of the St. Jude FedEx Championship. Kim scored -6, with seven birdies and only one bogey.

Two of the leaders of the FedEx Cup and Official World Golf Ranking (OWGR), Scottie Scheffler and Rory McIlroy had a decent start. Both are T15 (-3) after the first round of the St. Jude FedEx Championship.

The other major favorite, Jon Rahm, finished second to last with a score of 3-over 70. This Friday will be a long day for him, looking to improve that performance.
