Bob McIntyre (-14) enters the final round of the BMW Championship with a four-shot lead over Scottie Scheffler (-12). The Scot faced heckling from the crowd but held his composure, while Scheffler, cheered on by fans, trimmed only one stroke from the gap.
FedExCup Playoff Stakes
The top 50 golfers in the FedExCup Playoffs are competing this week, with only 30 advancing to the Tour Championship. Sepp Straka has already secured his spot and is sitting this one out.
Ryder Cup Implications
Beyond playoff survival, Ryder Cup qualification adds pressure. The top six Americans in points after Round 4 automatically qualify. As of now, Scheffler, J.J. Spaun, and Xander Schauffele are in, while Russell Henley, Bryson DeChambeau, and Harris English are under threat from Justin Thomas and Collin Morikawa.
