6 years agoAfter leading the BMW Championship field in strokes gained off the tee, strokes gained approach, strokes gained tee to green and driving distance, Rory McIlroy was only able to muster up a fifth-place finish at Aronimink. The Irishman struggled mightily with his short game all week, which was highlighted by losing a combined 3.364 strokes putting and around the green during his final round. With the week-long break between the BMW Championship and Tour Championship, McIlroy has had some extra time to try and get his short game figured out. In his last three appearances at East Lake, the fifth-ranked player in the world has provided a win in 2016, a share of second place in 2014 and a share of 16th in 2015. McIlroy is the third betting favorite at 9/1, according to the Westgate Las Vegas Superbook and is the third highest priced player on DraftKings at $10,700. The 29-year-old should be considered one of the favorites to take home the final title of the season and can be used in all DFS formats. --Spencer Aguiar - RotoBaller
