Alright kids, the FedEx Cup continues it's march to crown a $10 million victor at Conway Farms in Lake Forest, Illinois this weekend. With a leaderboard that was tailor-made to drive excitement, this is one tournament that we are looking forward to in a big way. Conway Farms is a more intimate venue than some of the other courses, so it will be interesting to see how the golfers respond. Here's what you need to watch for at the 2015 BMW Championship this weekend:
1. Look for Jason Day to continue his hot streak
Day has been on a tear for the past few tournaments and we fully anticipate his stellar play to continue. Our bet is that he'll be in the top 5 easily and head into the final week of the FedEx Cup on top of the standings.
2. Rory will bounce back
2015 has been a bit of a mixed bag for Rory McIlroy with injuries (pick-up soccer game anyone?) and some very un-Rory-like play in recent weeks. We're betting that this will be a nice comeback week for McIlroy and he'll finish near the top of the leaderboard.
3. Spieth Will Make the Cut
With two major victories under his belt this year, 2015 will undoubtedly go on the books as one of the best for Jordan Spieth. That being said, he's now missed two cuts in a row, which means that 2015 is a year of firsts for the young Texan. Like Rory, we feel strongly that Jordan will bounce back this week. I don't think we'll be putting money on him to win the BMW, but he'll put up a strong showing.
4. A Lesser-Known Name Will Make a Charge
One of the cool things about the Fedex Cup is that it provides golfers with ample opportunities to make a charge up the leaderboard. We've got our eyes on some golfers who aren't yet household names that we think could make a charge at the BMW. Keven Kisner (17), Matt Jones (33) and Tony Finau (41) are three golfers who you could very well see in contention come Sunday.
5. Stenson Will Win
This is definitely a bit of a bold prediction, but we think that Stenson, coming off an almost-win at the Deustche Bank Classic is in prime position to take the victory at the BMW Championship this weekend.
