Dustin Johnson & Hideki Matsuyama Lock Horn at Olympia Fields in the final round – World favorite Dustin Johnson and Japan’s Hideki Matsuyama will share a two-stroke lead going into the ultimate round of the BMW Championship on Sunday.
World favorite Dustin Johnson and Japan’s Hideki Matsuyama will share a two-stroke lead going into the ultimate round of the BMW Championship on Sunday after shooting one-under-par 69s on Saturday.
The Olympia Fields club , where 69 players are battling it out for 30 spots in next week’s Tour Championship, continued to torment the world’s best golfers and therefore the leading pair were alone in having tournament totals sick .
Their tally of one-under 209 gave them a touch of breathing space at the highest of a crowded leaderboard before Australia’s Adam Scott (70), Canadian Mackenzie Hughes (69) and Chilean Joaquin Niemann (68), who shared third place.
Johnson tore up the TPC Boston for an 11-shot victory in last week’s Northern Trust Open — the primary of three FedExCup playoff events — and therefore the American thought he had find the proper strategy for fulfillment at the trickier Illinois course.
“Felt like I hit tons of fairways, tons of greens, and it really doesn’t matter how distant you’re , you’ve just need to be within the fairway,” he told reporters.
“That’s the sole thanks to control the ball and control the spin, and even then it’s still difficult to urge it on the brink of the opening .”
Johnson, who will extend his lead at the highest of the FedExCup standings if he can snare a 3rd BMW Championship title on Sunday, mixed three birdies with two bogeys.

Matsuyama made the right start with an eagle at the par-five first, but two birdies against three bogeys over the remainder of the round deprived him of the outright lead.
Rory McIlroy, who shared the overnight lead, fell off the pace and into a share of sixth with five others on two-over after shooting a 73, later explaining that the approaching arrival of his first child had been a distraction.
Spain’s Jon Rahm also shared sixth after carding the joint lowest round of the day with a five-birdie 66 that might are better had he not forgotten to place a marker on the fifth green before learning his ball. He was docked a stroke.
