THE FINAL DAY at the BMW Championship, with 2021 BMW Championship winner Patrick Cantlay in the lead by 1 shot.
So can Cantlay hold on to go back-to-back. But one thing is for sure, there will not be a six hole playoff with Bryson DeChambeau again this year.
First round leaders Keegan Bradley has fallen off the lead. Rory McIlroy the betting favorite starts the day-five shots back.
When tomorrow begins, Olympia Fields Country Club will be as they say at the draft, on the clock for the 2023 BMW Championship. Chicago’s only stop for the championship in a six year run.
