   ​Half the fun is over, half the fun is still to come at the FedEx St. Jude Championship in Memphis. Scottie Scheffler is leading the way by three strokes at 11-under 129 after a sizzling course-record 61. But in the game within the game that is attempting to make the top 50 in the season-long FedEx Cup standings to advance to next week’s second leg of the playoffs, Jordan Spieth, Sungjae Im and Sudarshan Yellamaraju are projected to be moving on to St. Louis while also ensuring their place in all of next season’s signature events. Im made the biggest leap after a second straight 66 to sit in a tie for second place with Viktor Hovland. That would be good enough to vault from No. 53 to No. 36. Spieth, who followed 65 with a 69 to sit T-5 at 6 under is projected at No. 44 and Yellamaraju at No. 49.Here’s the last five in and the first five out as well as the minimum needed to move on for Nos. 51-70. FedEx Cup standings: Last 5 in for BMW ChampionshipPlayerFedEx Cup(previous)Points aheadRyo Hisatsune46 (43)+49.179Alex Noren47 (46)+39.264Sahith Theegala48 (44)+33.777Sudarshan Yellamaraju57 (46)+19.663Eric Cole50 (45)—FedEx Cup standings: Last 5 out for BMW ChampionshipPlayerFedEx Cup(previous)PointsbehindBrian Harman51 (65)-1.689Michael Brennan52 (47)-6.258Matt McCarty53 (48)-28.348Maverick McNealy54 (50)-30.203Pierceson Coody55 (56)-81.431Minimum required to stay alive in FedEx Cup Playoffs at start of the weekPlayerFedEx CupMinimum finish requiredHarris English51Solo 31stMax Homa522-way T-25Sungjae Im532-way T-24Jordan Spieth54Solo 23rdSam Stevens552-way T-17Sudarshan Yellamaraju57 Three-way T-16Harry Hall58 Two-way T-16Corey Conners59 2-way T-14Daniel Berger60Out; didn’t enterMichael Kim613-way T-12Shane Lowry622-way T-11Nick Taylor63 Solo 10thJordan Smith64 2-way T-9Brian Harman65 2-way T-8Patrick Rodgers662-way T-8Aldrich Potgieter673-way T-7Ricky Castillo682-way T-7Matti Schmid 692-way T-7Jackson Koivun702-way T-7This article originally appeared on Golfweek: FedEx Cup Playoffs bubble: Who’s up, who’s down in top 50 after Round 2 at St. Jude
