Who is leading the BMW Championship 2025 after Round 3? Leaderboard explored

Robert MacIntyre fired a 2-under 68 in the third round of the BMW Championship to maintain his lead. Following the third day’s action at Caves Valley Golf Club, he was at 16-under and held a four-shot lead over Scottie Scheffler.

On Saturday, August 16, MacIntyre entered the Caves Valley Golf Club with a five-stroke lead. The start wasn't ideal as he bogeyed the first hole of the day, but he ensured this was his only mistake as he picked up three birdies to close the day at 2-under.

Scottie Scheffler, who was five shots behind after Friday's play, shot 3-under 67 and was at 12-under after 54 holes. Ludvig Aberg also remained unmoved at solo third after shooting 68, while Sam Burns and Harry Hall were six strokes back after carding 67s on Saturday.

Tommy Fleetwood and Maverick McNealy shared sixth place at the BMW Championship after third-round 69s. Michael Kim, Rickie Fowler, and Viktor Hovland were tied for eighth at 7-under.

Notably, Fowler and Kim are among the names on the playoff bubble ahead of the final round. For the uninitiated, only the top 30 players in the FedEx Cup standings after Sunday’s finale will head to East Lake for the Tour Championship.
