Tournament Roundup - BMW Championship
Hello members,
What a great finish today! Viktor Hovland fires a new course record 61 to come from behind and take home the title! He finished birdie-birdie to shoot 28 on his final 9. Talk about on fire; he couldn’t miss and it helps he it is close on pretty much every hole. Viktor takes home the $3.6m payday and now is 2nd in FedEx Cup points, which means he’ll start next week at 8-under and only two behind 1st in the points race, Scottie Scheffler.
Scottie Scheffler ended up T2 with Matt Fitzpatrick. After Viktor birdied 18, Scottie had a shot into the 17th green. He hit it on and proceeded to three-putt to fall two behind. He, and Fitzpatrick, had to hole out on 18 to get in a playoff. Both hit great shots to less than 10 feet, but that means neither made Eagle and Viktor took it home.
Now, the points standings really come into play. Below is the full list of the 30 players for next week with their starting position.
Scottie Scheffler - 10-under
Viktor Hovland - 8-under
Rory McIlroy - 7-under
Jon Rahm - 6-under
Lucas Glover - 5-under
Max Homa, Patrick Cantlay, Briand Harman, Wyndham Clark, Matt Fitzpatrick - 4-under
Tommy Fleetwood, Russell Henley, Keegan Bradley, Rickie Fowler, Xander Schauffele - 3-under
Tom Kim, Sungjae Im, Tony Finau, Corey Conners, Si Woo Kim - 2-under
Taylor Moore, Nick Taylor, Adam Schenk, Collin Morikawa, Jason Day - 1-under
Sam Burns, Emiliano Grillo, Tyrrell Hatton, Jordan Spieth, Sepp Straka - Even
Nick Dunlap is the new U.S. Amateur champion after beating Neal Shipley today at Cherry Hills.
The end of the season is upon us. Cheers everyone.
A course-record 61 for the win! 🏆

Neal Shipley on Saturday's 17th-hole heroics:
"Kind of feels like a Michael Block moment or like Tiger at East Lake type of deal. I mean, just a pretty crazy scene. ... That walk was just unbelievable."

Nick Dunlap began this 123rd U.S. Am by playing a wrong ball on his 3rd hole, four-putting his 5th hole and being 5 over thru 7.
That's when his caddie Jeff Curl wrote this on 8th hole of Dunlap's yardage book: "This can be an AMAZING story if you let go and LET IT HAPPEN!!!"
