It was the second stop of the FedEx Cup Playoffs at Castle Pines Golf Club for the BMW Championship, making the first time in 10 years that the PGA Tour returned to Colorado, where the course sits more than 6,200 yards above sea level and is stretched out to over 8,100 yards. That is not a typo.
The top 50 in the FedEx Cup standings arrived and by the end of the week it was culled down to 30 for the finale next week at East Lake in Atlanta. Scottie Scheffler will continue to hold the FedEx lead but it was Keegan Bradley who triumphed in Colorado, taking home $3.6 million from the overall $20 million purse. He shot a final-round 72 to end with a 12-under-par total to top Sam Burns, Ludvig Aberg and Adam Scott by a shot.
Reminder that Hideki Matsuyama won the first playoff event last week at the FedEx St. Jude Championship in steamy Tennessee. He coughed up a big lead late on Sunday but held on with birdies on the last two holes to top Xander Schauffele and Victor Hovland by two shots. However, he withdrew from the BMW Championship prior to the second round.
Scheffler, Xander Schauffele, Matsuyama, Bradley and Aberg are the top five in FedEx Cup standings. Justin Thomas just squeaked in, finishing 30th on the points list.
