BMW Championship Scores: Scottie Scheffler Leads By Two

WELCOME

Hello and welcome to Golf Monthly’s coverage of the BMW Championship closing stages at Caves Valley Golf Club. Robert MacIntyre held a four-stroke lead to start the day but has suffered a catastrophic afternoon in Maryland, handing the initiative to Scottie Scheffler, who currently leads by two.

We will bring you all of the key moments until a champion is crowned, including updates from the bubble in the FedEx Cup standings as those at risk try to make the top-30 and therefore the Tour Championship next weekend.

Thanks for tuning in!

RECOVERY FROM ROBERT

From the right fairway bunker and with 186 yards to go at the 14th, MacIntyre drives one onto the putting surface – hole-high. He still has 30 feet, but it’s a chance to generate some positive momentum.

In response, Scheffler leaves his approach 15 feet underneath the hole from the centre of the fairway. It can look like such an easy game for the World No.1.

ON THE BUBBLE

With holes running out, Rickie Fowler and Akshay Bhatia are among those outside of the top-30. Fowler is T8th currently but has dropped four strokes in his past four holes. He doesn’t look like he’s going to take one back at the par-5 16th, either after running his chip through the back.

Fowler fails with his birdie try and must settle for a birdie. That could be his Tour Championship race run…
