FedEx St. Jude Classic 2016: Final Leaderboard Scores, Prize-Money Payouts

The final round of the FedEx St. Jude Classic at TPC Southwind in Memphis was interrupted by a three-hour weather delay, but Daniel Berger didn't let the stoppage stand in the way of his first PGA Tour win. 

Berger, who entered the day three shots clear of the field at 10 under par, finished at 13 under and held off a hard-charging pack of challengers that included Dustin Johnson, Phil Mickelson and Brooks Koepka.

A look at the top of the leaderboard can be viewed below, while a complete overview of the tournament standings is available at the PGA Tour's official website:

Berger's day started in unspectacular fashion with a bogey on No. 1, but he rebounded with birdies on Nos. 6 and 9 to maintain a slim edge and make the turn at 11 under.

However, Mickelson wouldn't go away.

After playing the front nine at even par, Lefty birdied No. 10 before sinking a long-range birdie attempt on No. 12 to move to within one of the lead, as the PGA Tour showed:

And while it would have been easy for the 23-year-old Berger to get rattled with a five-time major champion on his tail, he plugged away and created distance with a birdie of his own on No. 12.

The Florida State product then rolled in a 32-foot birdie on No. 14 to move three shots clear of his closest competition, and he poured in another birdie at No. 15 to ice things.

The 2014-15 PGA Tour Rookie of the Year not only displayed tremendous resolve en route to a confidence-building triumph, but he also built some momentum in advance of the U.S. Open, which kicks off Thursday. 

And he wasn't alone in that regard.

Johnson entered the day at two under, and he couldn't have asked for a much better effort with the U.S. Open on the horizon. The 31-year-old will be seeking to capture his first major championship next weekend at Oakmont Country Club in Pittsburgh, and he closed out his final round in stellar fashion with a 29 on the back nine.

After playing the front nine at one under, Johnson funneled in four birdies and an eagle over the course of his final nine holes to move to nine under for the tournament.

And while Johnson is normally renowned for his powerful theatrics off the tee, he wowed fans with some spectacular shots around the green.

Johnson's second shot at the par-five 16th found the fringe, but he calmly chipped in for eagle to move to eight under: 

Then, on the day's final hole, Johnson produced what appeared to be a carbon copy of his shot on the 16th to temporarily snag sole possession of second place, as the PGA Tour's official Twitter account documented:

As the U.S. Open approaches, it's important to remember how consistent Johnson has been on the major stage of late. Not only did he finish second to Jordan Spieth last year at Chambers Bay, but he's also recorded a top-seven finish in four of his last five major appearances, according to Sean Martin of the PGA Tour's official website.

It will take focus and patience for Johnson to conquer one of the toughest tests in golf as the scene shifts to the Steel City, but if his recent track record is any indication, a career first could be in order.

Post-Round Reaction

Berger was understandably excited following his first career victory. He commented on the win, per Teresa M. Walker of the Associated Press. 

"To kind of get it done today means a lot," Berger said. "To do that with so many great players, Hall of Famers behind me, it's something that I'll never forget, and I just love the way I hung in there and was able to get it done."

He also feels confident heading into the U.S. Open starting Thursday, per Walker.

"When I played in the Masters for the first time, I think I finished 10th, five shots behind, and didn't really play that great," Berger said. "So, you know if I can go in there next week and play good, then obviously I have what it takes to get the W."

Todd Schad of the Memphis Commercial Appeal also shared an anecdote about Berger and Mickelson:

Berger seems to have a bright future, and the win Sunday could be the first of many in his career. Look for him to play well at the U.S. Open.
