The BMW Championship and the 3rd leg of the Playoffs come at an interesting time. With the race to the FedEx Cup not so much as heating up but on actual fire, there is still so many side stories that are developing. Henrik Stenson looks likely to miss the action this week, he is yet to confirm his participation.The Ryder Cup enthusiasts will be keeping a close eye on this as Hazeltine is just over 3 weeks away. Rory Mcilroy found his putting stroke last week and ended up beating Paul Casey to win the Deutsche Bank Championship. That is indeed an ominous sign for the rest of the field and FedEx Cup hopefuls as Mcilroy has put himself in a great position to go on and win it. Last week’s win has elevated him to 4th in the standings. Reed still sits at the top but his position there looks a lot more precarious than it did last week. This weeks action takes place at Crooked Stick Golf Club that measures 7, 516 yards and plays as a par 72. Last years winner Jason Day returns to defend his BMW Championship title that he won at Conway Farms Golf Club last year. A win here for any of the top 5 in the rankings could go a long way in deciding who will win the FedEx Cup. Crooked Stick is a sensational setting for what will certainly be another phenomenal fight for the $10m.
