The 2020 BMW Championship finishes up on Sunday, August 30, with the final round at Olympia Fields CC. Here’s what you need to know to watch the action on Sunday.
Previewing BMW Championship Round 4
If you’re tuning in for the first time since last Sunday, we should warn you now that the golf looks absolutely nothing like it did a week ago. But yet, if you’re tuning in for the first time since last Sunday, perhaps you’ll be surprised to learn the leaderboard is identical at the very top.
A week after blowing away the field en route to a 30 under victory at the Northern Trust, Dustin Johnson is again in the 54-hole lead at the BMW Championship. Despite the tournament playing under drastically different conditions at Olympia Fields (a former U.S. Open host), Johnson managed to leap into the lead on Saturday with his second straight 1-under 69.
DJ is tied atop the leaderboard with Hideki Matsuyama, and both golfers hold a two-stroke lead over the remainder of the field in the second event of the FedEx Cup Playoffs. Joaquin Niemann, Adam Scott, Rory McIlroy and Jon Rahm highlight the plethora of golfers sitting near the two leaders at a couple of strokes over-par.
In short, with U.S. Open-like conditions and a loaded leaderboard, the stage is set for a rollicking Sunday at the BMW Championship, here’s everything you need to know to watch.
