Pressure from the FedExCup standings yields a variety of results.<\/p>\n

Friday\u2019s second round in Memphis was no exemption, with its crossover of green and red arrows showcasing who is projected to make it to next week\u2019s BMW Championship \u2014 and who is not.<\/p>\n

While some battling to extend their season to St. Louis have begun to wilt in the Tennessee heat (Eric Cole, Matt McCarty), there have been others who are rising to meet the moment. Keith Mitchell and Jordan Spieth<\/a> are a pair of players who have significantly helped their cause early this week.<\/p>\n

The same could be said for Sunjae Im \u2014 who enters the weekend T-2 with Viktor Hovland and sits three shots off Scottie Scheffler\u2019s current lead at 11 under.<\/a><\/p>\n

To remain inside the top-50 number for the BMW Championship, Mitchell, Im and Spieth must remain consistent over the next 36 holes. They\u2019ve put themselves in great position thanks to strong opening performances at TPC Southwind. <\/p>\n

Let\u2019s take a look at the players listed Nos. 45-55 in the FedExCup standings<\/a> entering this week\u2019s tournament and where they\u2019re currently projected to finish. <\/p>\n
