Scottie Scheffler continued his stunning season at the FedEx St. Jude Championship, where he finished T3.

Scheffler secured a 12th successive top eight finish on Sunday, ending his week at TPC Southwind on 15-under par.

Justin Rose and J.J. Spaun topped the pile at the St. Jude Championship, with the Englishman clinching the title via a playoff.

The top 50 players from the PGA Tour event now take on the BMW Championship, which gets underway at Caves Valley Golf Club this week.

Scheffler had Brad Payne on the bag for his final round in Memphis, with regular caddie Ted Scott having attended to a personal matter.

The secret move Scottie Scheffler makes before every shot

Scott and Scheffler have worked wonders together in recent years, with the player’s longtime coach Randy Smith having also played an integral role.

And Smith has now shared insight into a key area of the world number one’s approach, after being told by Mark Immelman: “His hands are majestic on the golf club but there is a softness about him. You never see tension in the forearms or the shoulders when I watch him.”

Smith replied: “You noticed that, huh? You still see the softness? I will tell you what, that is a phenomenal observation on your part. Because where is the club when Scottie is doing his [grip check] on the course?”

Immelman responded: “It’s always chest high and he is looking right at his hand,” with Smith saying: “Okay, look at your elbows.

“How much tension are in your elbows and your arms? You waggle the club up here and get a feel for it and then you present that to the golf ball.

“Now if you grip the club down on the ground and you are working on it and you are putting the hands on down there, what are you creating in the arms and shoulders?”

Immelman replied: “Tension and you are leaning on the club a bit which he never does,” with Smith noting: “Absolutely! You have just busted out a secret which I have not really talked on that much.

“But in talking to other players it’s like why don’t you do your grip work up here so you can present this to the ball and not introduce the tension of gripping it on the ground.”

How did Scottie Scheffler perform at the St. Jude Championship?

Scheffler may not have won another title at the St. Jude Championship, but he produced another superb display.

On another day, the American would have added to his stunning success, but an inspired Rose prevented more Scheffler dominance.

But given his overall efforts, it would be foolish to rule the world number one out of returning to glory at the BMW Championship.

He headlines the field in Maryland, where the likes of Jordan Spieth, Wyndham Clark and Min Woo Lee won’t be involved after failing to finish in the top 50 in Memphis.
