Jon Rahm's first playoff event, the FedEx St. Jude Championship, was not a great one. He finished on T37 rank on the leaderboard fetching him almost nothing, in terms of FedEx Cup points. However, he managed to stay at the top of the rankings.

But at the BMW Championship, Rahm had another below-average performance and finished on T31 rank on the leaderboard. This forced him to slip to fourth place in the FedEx Cup rankings, behind Scottie Scheffler, Viktor Hovland, and Rory McIlroy.

The two-time Major champion is still searching for his first FedEx Cup title. Jon Rahm will surely look forward to putting on a staggering performance in the Tour Championship at the East Lake Golf Course this weekend.
