Si Woo Kim Inconsistent Heading To BMW Championship
2 years agoSi Woo Kim had one of the strangest tournaments last week. The Korean golfer opened up with a tour de force 62 which put him in the lead and then he proceeded to just miss putts and some shots. That 73-72 middle knocked Kim right out of contention. Then on Sunday, when he was far enough off the lead, he fired a solid 68 which has some pundits bullish on him for this week at the BMW Championship. Kim drives the ball just over 300 yards with top-45 driving accuracy. If he can avoid the pitfalls of his putter which ranks 171st on tour, then his playoff stay might get extended.

Adam Hadwin Tries To Recover From Last Week's Implosion
2 years agoAdam Hadwin had a weekend he would like to forget at the FedEx St. Jude Championship. It was thought the 76 was bad on Saturday but the 77 on Sunday was an even bigger disaster. That dropped the Canadian golfer from the top 20 all the way to 69th. The BMW Championship course in Wilmington may be as much of a concern for Hadwin. Consider that Hadwin's odds are way down at +15000. That is a sign which does not bode well. From a DFS perspective, his scoring average and birdies per round rank in the top-60. That is good but may not be playoff ready.Source: PGATour.com
Brian Harman Tries To Continue Momentum From St. Jude
2 years agoBrian Harman just kept making putts and stayed in the FedEx St. Jude Championship last weekend. The American golfer shot in the 60's for all four rounds. That consistency helped him finish in a tie for third. That boosted his FedEx Cup ranking all the way up to 23rd. This week, Harman tries to improve on that at the BMW Championship. After strong performances at the Travelers and The Open, Harman was on the radar last week as he delivered. He ranks right around the top 50 when it comes to putting and tee-to-green. Overall, he ranks 41st in strokes gained at 0.715. Momentum may be key here. Source: PGATour.com
Chez Reavie Attempts To Stay In FedEx Playoff Hunt
2 years agoChez Reavie had a rough Sunday last week at the FedEx St. Jude Championship. Reavie finished with a two-over 72 which tumbled him down to a tie for 51st. So, that was a 47th. 49th, and 51st the past three weeks for the American golfer. It is that -0.37 strokes gained putting that hurts Reavie the most. Granted, his driving distance averages just 283 yards (ranks 199th) and that will not help this week in Delaware. Reavie may struggle to make much headway especially if he does not sink putts early.

Patrick Cantlay Tries To Recover From Rough Weekend
2 years agoPatrick Cantlay attempts to bounce back this week at the BMW Championship. Last week at the FedEx St. Jude Championship, the American golfer faltered over the weekend after a 71 and 72. Cantlay just could not make putts and then compounded that with a bogey and double bogey on the back nine Sunday. It was a rare weekend of misses for Cantlay at TPC Southwind. This week the Wilmington Country Club could be a bit more forgiving. Ranking 96th in driving accuracy (61.16%) and is just 185th when putting from 10-15 feet. Combine those two and Cantlay could again have another tough weekend.Source: PGATour.com
