The Saturday Story..BMW Chamionship. DAP Championship.. live leaderboards, news..

The BMW Championship on the rain soaked, soft Crooked Stick course in Carmel Indiana is producing very low scores, including a new course record, as the field continues to get whittled down to the final 30 for the Tour Championship, so there is a lot at stake this weekend, including captain's picks for the US Ryder Cup team.

Meanwhile just outside Cleveland at the historic Canterbury GC, the Web.com. playoffs are underway at the DAP Championship, there are 3 Canadians who have survived the cut, and there is a six way tie for the lead on a jammed leaderboard.

Here are live leaderboards for both as well as the KLM Open in Holland.

The story here is that Roberto Castro who has gone 125 starts on the PGA Tour without a win was well clear of the field with a pair of 65's -14 until he was caught by Dustin Johnson who added a course record -9 63 to his opening 67 -14 and they are 3 shots ahead going into play today.

Johnson has been terrific this year with his US Open and WGC titles, so he is a Player of the Year candidate, will be in the coveted top 5 at the Tour Championship, is already in the Ryder Cup and much more to follow.

Castro on the other hand is currently at #53 in the FedEx Cup and remember only the top 30 make it to the finale at East Lake.

Again the weather remains unsettled and play has been delayed again this morning for a least an hour.

Paul Casey continues his fine play, he is next at 67 66 -11, then JB Holmes bidding for a captain's pick is 69 65 -10 along with Chris Kirk 68 66.

The closest after these guys are at -7, however with the course playing so soft, 64's and 65's will be out there all weekend.

David Hearn is hoping he'll be one of them after he shot a +1 73 and is in a big group at -4, T19 along with Jason Day, Rory McIlroy, Jordan Spieth and Patrick Reed.

First the Canadian scores : MacKenzie Hughes 69 68 -3 T19 and he has move to -4 with an early birdie this morning, Albin Choi 72 67 -1 T36, Adam Svensson 70 70 E T50.... Brad Fritsch +3 and Roger Sloan +5 missed the cut that fell on E.

The story at this one is the jammed leaderboard with 6 guys T1 -6 including Stuart Appleby making a bid to return to the PGA Tour, and Bryson DeChambeau.

This one will come down to the wire this at least 30 guys within 3 shots of the lead.

What a summer veteran Aussie Scott Hend is having, including a brilliant 4th place showing for his country at Rio2016. He has just posted a 64 to grab the lead by a shot at -14 after 3 rounds on a course they simply call the Dutch.

South African Brandon Stone had set the clubhouse target at -10 with a stunning 63, but he has been pipped by local hope Joost Luiten who birdied the last for a -2 69 good for T3 at -11 so he is the top Dutch player going into the final round.
