PGA Tour BMW Championship leaderboard http://www.pgatour.com/tournaments/bmw-championship/leaderboard.html
David Hearn, Hudson Swafford and Luke Donald will be playing in front of a huge gallery when they tee off at 2.04pm today at this 3rd leg of the FedEx Cup playoffs at Crooked Stick in Carmel, Indiana.
All are playing well, Hearn T8 last week at the Deutsche Bank, but the real reason is the group just ahead of them, Rory McIlroy, Jordan Spieth and Adam Scott.
It is an incredibly muggy, rainy, thunder and lightning system that has settled over the NE and sadly I think this may well end up being the story of this BMW Championship today, for the 69 players and fans.
On a week when Tiger has announced his return to the game, as you go through this leaderboard, look at all the young guys I have been reporting on and writing about who have arrived since his departure who are now established regulars,
Tony Finau, Brooks Koepka, Justin Thomas, Daniel Berger, James Hahn, Emiliano Grillo, Smylie Kaufman.. the list goes on and on as these young guys join Rory, Jordan and Jason, all in their twenties, and all making a boat load of money, thanks in large part by the aforementioned Mr. Woods who will be teeing it up Oct.,13-16 at the Safeway Open on the Silverado course in the Napa Valley before flying to the Turkish Open at a ridiculously high end Turkish resort on the Mediterranean, where the starting price for a home is a mere $5m US or just $2500.00 per night.
On a personal note, be careful out there today if you are part of this weather system, it got up to over 40*c yesterday where I was signed up to do yard work, and despite drinking gallons of water I stilled nearly passed out later in the afternoon.
Best just stay close to the A/C until this muggy mess blows out to the Atlantic. However the guys who are playing today don't have that option, and if the weatherman is right it's going to be a long day.
