BMW Championship Sunday tee times/ live scoreboard https://www.pgatour.com/competition/2020/bmw-championship/leaderboard.html
Tiger Woods (72) was tempted to smash his golf club on a rock hard cartpath, Mac Hughes says Olympia Fields has been "rock hard from the getgo", and he's one of a few who've been rock solid at this BMW Championship, with a round to go to decide who will make the top 30 at the PGA Tour season finale Tour Championship in a fortnight's time.
Hughes plays best on tough courses, his 6th place finish at Jack's burnt out Memorial ( Jon Rahm) and earlier 2nd at the Honda (Sungjae Im) where the winning scores were only -9 and -6 respectively.
He has posted 69,73,69 +1 and will begin play today 22nd on the Fed Ex board and T3, just 2 shots behind red hot Dustin Johnson (69) and Japanese star Hideki Matsuyama (69), the only 2 under par at -1.
He birdied his first hole on Saturday and then settled in for pars before another birdie at the par 3 13th when he hit his tee shot inside 3 feet. His only bogey in his rock solid round was at the 17th.
Would be Presidents Cup team mates Adam Scott (70) and Joaquin Niemann (68) join him at +1, then a group of six including expectant dad Rory McIlroy (73) and recent #1 Jon Rahm (66) are at +2. Rory and his wife are expecting any day which may be why he has been distracted of late, and he says " I'll be out of here the moment I get the word"
Hughes joined his fellow competitors in his assessment of Olympia Fields, " It's so hard you have to focus so much on every shot you just get in your own world out there, and just the task at hand" A birdie here or a double there can move you up or down the leaderboard in a heartbeat."
Corey Connors (70) had a hole in one at the 6th, but then made 4 straight bogey's to end up +5 T21, Adam Hadwin T47 (73) and Nick Taylor T55 (73). All will be heading home without remarkable rounds later today.
