Also, unlike the first two FedEx Cup playoff events, the BMW Championship will feature no cut.

But Jones has plenty still to play for in the race to make it inside the top 30 (currently 33rd) and his performance here two years ago when he made the top 10 and closed out with a couple of 67s adds to a positive profile. However, the catch is that the last time he played here in 2013, he snapped his driver in two.
Two years ago Jason Day finished 4th at this venue which augurs well for his chances this week.
“Obviously to get off to a good start here would be great”. I know that I just have to suck it up for the next two weeks and just go out and play as hard as I can because the off-season is coming up quick for me. Previous year it was at Cherry Hills Country Club in Denver.
Buoyed by a week off, Conway Farms has become about keeping his momentum through to Atlanta, and perhaps becoming world number one in the process, which he can do should he win his fourth tournament in six starts. His season best is a P2 at The Honda Classic the first week of March, one of five top 10s on his inaugural campaign. September. (The next best score that day: 65.) Zach Johnson’s winning score was a very reasonable 16 under par, and the course has since been toughened up some with more bunkers, new tees, and additional yardage.
Rory skipped The Barclays as he continues to manage his recovery from his summer ankle injury and was certainly delighted with a closing 66 at TPC Boston in the Deutsche Bank Championship. He also hasn’t won a tournament since the 2013 British Open. Mahan lived to fight another day thanks to his T4 finish at the Deutsche Bank Championship, but that got him only up to 52nd in FedEx points. Furyk is especially notable since he shot a memorable 59 in the second round of the event. He needs to finish no worse than third at Conway Farms to crack the top 30.
So, that should give you an idea and a baseline on who to target for this week for your BMW Championship DraftKings fantasy picks.
Day, who won this year’s US PGA Championship at Whistling Straits earlier last month, will have a tight competition in the early round of the BMW Championship.

“When someone is that young, it’s unfair to extrapolate him out to be a No. 1 player in the world, but you got a sense there was something special about Jason”, Peterson said.
