The BMW Championshiops got underway today in Lake Forest, Illinois, just outside of Chicago. It was a beautiful day, windy but warm with cooler air on the way for the weekend. This is the third and final playoff in the FeExCup series and the top thirty in the points standings after this tournament will advance to the final at Eastlake Country Club in Atlanta, GA.
Currently, Henrik Stenson has taken over first place in the FedEx standings, Tiger Woods is in second trailing by 14 points, with Adam Scott in third. This will change again once this tournament is completed.
Stenson is currently at +1. Brandt Snedeker led the way today with a brilliant round of 63 and is atop the leaderboard at -8. Zach Johnson is at -7, Steve Stricker, Charles Schwartzel, Kevin Steelman, and Tiger Woods are at -5, Adam Scott, John Merrick, and Ryan Moore are at -4.
Mickelson had somewhat of a rough go of it on the front nine, making the turn at +2 but he birdied thee holes on the back nine to wind up play at -1. Rory Mcilroy had a disastrous day, finishing up at +7.
This is the second oldest golf tournament behind the US Open. Going to be some great golf tomorrow through Sunday with everything on the line to see who make the cut to head to Atlanta.
TNF tonight will offer the New York Jets at the New England Patriots. Geno Smith will play QB for the Jets as Mark Sanchez is likely out for the year.
CFB will showcase TCU vs. Texas Tech.
Over and out for now!
