PublishedThe second leg of the FedExCup Playoffs takes place at Castle Pines Golf Club in Colorado this week with the BMW Championship.The original 70-player field was dwindled down to 50 after last week's FedEx St. Jude Championship at TPC Southwind with only the top 30 following the BMW Championship advancing to the season-ending Tour Championship at East Lake Golf Course in Atlanta next week.
Let's take a close look at the Canadians in the mix at the BMW Championship as well as the top contenders vying for the Tour Championship title. After Nick Taylor and Mackenzie Hughes finished outside of the top-50 at the FedEx St. Jude Championship, only three Canadians remain in the FedEx Playoffs. And all three have the potential to either be eliminated or move on this week at the BMW Championship.
In addition to a spot in the Tour Championship, Pendrith, Conners and Hadwin will also be motivated to play well and catch the eye of Canadian golf legend Mike Weir. Weir will soon make his captain picks for the upcoming Presidents Cup, taking place at Royal Montreal Golf Club from Sept. 26-29.The BMW Championship will not only feature a race to get into the top-30, but a battle for the No. 1 spot heading into the Tour Championship.
American Scottie Scheffler is the odds-on favourite to nab that No. 1 spot after one of the best season's in PGA Tour history. The world No. 1 player owns 6,533 points, nearly 1,500 better than Xander Schauffele. Japan's Hideki Matsuyama rounds out the top three after holding on to win the FedEx St. Jude Championship last week.
