Connors posts first bogey free round at Olympia Fields.. Saturday tee times/ live scoring

BMW Championship Saturday tee times/ live scoring https://www.pgatour.com/competition/2020/bmw-championship/leaderboard.html

Par is very good this week, as Olympia Fields finally provides the stern test worthy of these Fed Ex Cup playoffs.

"It's about as stiff a test as you could want. It's very very difficult and you have to play from the fairway and play from below the hole quite frankly. The greens have so much slope on them you have to be putting uphill and so if you are in the rough it becomes exponentially difficult to do that."

This analysis from Patrick Cantley (68) who shares the lead with Rory McIlroy (69) at -1 heading into today's play. They are the only two under par, the score incidentally I think will win the tournament.

Scoring : Without putting you to sleep just remember there are two events going on at once. The BMW Championship and it's scores, and then how those scores affect the year long Fed Ex Cup standings where only the top 30 get to play the season finale Tour Championship.

Corey Connors became the first guy this week to post a bogey free round, with 17 pars and the one birdie for a -1 69 which has him at T30 +5 after his opening 76. However he began the week ranked 54th but actually dropped a spot to 55th in the Fed Ex Cup rankings, where only the top 30 move on. He'll need two more good rounds to get in.

Mac Hughes opened with -1 69 which moved him to 19th in the Fed Ex Cup, however his +3 73 yesterday has him T10 in the tournament and 30th in the Fed Ex Cup, right on the bubble.

Adam Hadwin 74 72 +6 sees him T39 and at 56 in the Fed Ex standings.

Nick Taylor 75 72 +7 is T46 but 49th in the Fed Ex.

Tiger is struggling, T46 73 75 +8 and away down the Fed Ex standings.
