Hughes, Connors after opening round of BMW Championship... full scoreboard

 Fed Ex Cup : BMW Championship live scoreboard here

After the opening round of this 2nd playoff in the Fed Ex Cup, the BMW Championship Mac Hughes (69) is T29 (projected 62) and Corey Connors (70) is T43 (projected 25)

As you'd expect it's a heavyweight leaderboard with Jon Rahm in the lead at -8 64 joined by Sam Burns and Rory McIlroy who thrilled the crowd with a world class 280 yard 3 wood to 15 feet which he holed for the eagle 3 on his 18th hole.

The Caves Valley course in hot and sweaty Maryland suits McIlroy's game. " When we come to a big course like this it let's you use the driver which is a big advantage" He began the week at 28th in the Fed Ex Cup points, so is one of the bubble boys needing to score well to make sure of the top 30.

Sergio was in form with his -7 65, then a stout group including Dustin Johnson at -5 67

Phil Mickelson is in at -4 68 along with Paul Casey who is having a great year in his quest to make the captain Harrington's Ryder Cup team.

Remember this year there is one less playoff, so only the top 30 in the Fed Ex points race get in to the Tour Championship in Atlanta.
