2021 BMW Championship final round preview
If there were any doubts about the BMW Championship serving as the penultimate FedEx Cup Playoff event of the 2021 PGA Tour season, they were quickly erased by a leaderboard loaded with big names, and built to the exact specifications of the modern PGA Tour.
After his Friday 60, Bryson DeChambeau sits atop the field at 21 (!!!) under par. DeChambeau hasn’t just lived under par, he’s taken up residence here; utilizing the PGA Tour’s cookie-cutter weekend setup to plow his way to a tie for the lead. Bryson sits tied with Patrick Cantlay for the top spot after Saturday’s third-round 66.
Now in addition to the high-drama of the FedEx Cup playoffs, there’s also some Ryder Cup math at work on Sunday. A win for Cantlay would secure the final auto-bid spot on the U.S. Ryder Cup team, while a loss would leave the final spot up for grabs between Tony Finau and Xander Schauffele. In the event Cantlay doesn’t come out on top, the higher-finisher between Finau and Schauffele will snag the final spot.
