BMW Championship: With one round left, the race is on to advance to 30-man Tour Championship field

OWINGS MILLS, Md. – With only 18 holes remaining, the race to the Tour Championship is sure to come down to the last hour of Sunday’s final round of the BMW Championship at Caves Valley Golf Club.

Only the top 30 players in the FedEx Cup standings at the end of the final round will move on to East Lake for the Tour Championship, the finale of the FedEx Cup Playoffs. Awaiting them is the $15 million grand prize, with the last-place player still earning $395,000.

And all sorts of exemptions are earned when you are one of the top 30.

That’s why it will be a tense Sunday, with a bogey here, a birdie there, a par over there changing the scoreboard on the fly. And there will be plenty of birdies, as the course is soft and vulnerable.

As it stands now, Patrick Reed, who is at home recovering from pneumonia and has been forced to miss the two playoff events, is 30th.

Here are some big names who are near the bubble of the 30th spot.
