Patrick Cantlay (-14) Defends BMW Championship Title, Scottie Scheffler Takes Lead in FedEx Cup Standings
Patrick Cantlay won the weekend, but Scottie Scheffler is winning the playoffs. Sunday at the BMW Championship came down to a frantic finish between Cantlay (-14) and Scott Stallings (-13). Stallings held the lead entering the back-nine before Cantlay reeled off three birdies in the final eight holes to swipe a one-stroke win and defend his title. He won the event in 2021.
FedEx Cup Playoff Points: The points he accumulated would’ve boosted him to the top of the FedEx Cup standings, but Scottie Scheffler (-11) holds the overall lead heading into the final weekend thanks to his hot streak back in the spring. One event remains with an $18 million purse at the Tour Championship next weekend.
