• Day, new caddie can't get irons dialed in

  16-09-2017 23:10
  
  LAKE FOREST, Ill. – For the first two rounds of his new relationship with caddie Luke Reardon, Jason Day raced up the leaderboard at the BMW Championship. But the third round was frustrating for the former world No. 1, as he failed to mount a charge to track down leader Marc Leishman.
  On a day when the leaderboards were awash with red figures, Day made only two birdies and played the back nine in 1 over in shooting a 1-under 70. That dropped him from two shots off of Leishman’s

• Leishman looking a little like Horschel did in 2014

  16-09-2017 22:02
  
  LAKE FOREST, Ill. – Three years ago, Billy Horschel appeared on the cusp of his first career FedExCup Playoff victory at TPC Boston before an errant approach to the 72nd hole sunk his chances. Despite the disappointment, he turned around and won the BMW Championship in his next start, then captured the Tour Championship and the season-long title.
  After another sterling round from Marc Leishman at Conway Farms Golf Club, it appears history could be repeating itself – at least in part.

• Fowler (70) fades after opening with an eagle

  16-09-2017 21:44
  
  LAKE FOREST, Ill. – Rickie Fowler started the third round of the BMW Championship with a bang, making eagle on the opening hole at Conway Farms. Unfortunately for him, that proved to be a lone highlight on an otherwise fruitless day.
  Fowler began the round three shots behind Marc Leishman, and he got within one after his opening eagle. But he made only one birdie the rest of the way, carding a 1-under 70 that dropped him five shots behind the Aussie. For Fowler, the source of his stunted m

  LAKE FOREST, Ill. – There’s a trophy at stake at the BMW Championship, a nice piece of silver that will look great in pictures and, in all likelihood, will belong to Marc Leishman by Sunday night.
  But whether or not the Aussie converts his five-shot lead, another tournament will play out in a different section of the high-definition leaderboards lining Conway Farms Golf Club.
  Each stop along the FedExCup Playoffs brings with it a bubble watch, but nowhere is the cut more dramatic tha

• Watch: Fowler goes driver off deck, finds green

  16-09-2017 17:29
  
  On Saturday at the BMW Championship at Conway Farms, 264 yards, a lake and a slew of bunkers separated Rickie Fowler from the green at the par-5 eighth.
  No matter. Fowler decided to hit his driver off the deck and managed to carry his ball onto the green. Unfortunately, he would go on to settle for par after three-putting from around 50 feet.
  264 yards to the hole. Only one option.
