American golfer Max Homa took the BMW Championship lead on Friday. The 32-year-old carded in a career-best round of 62 to dethrone Rory McIlroy and Brian Harman from the top position. Having lost the lead at the end of 36-holes, McIlroy settled for T5 alongside Scottie Scheffler and Rickie Fowler.
McIlroy is set to resume his game on Saturday at 1:06 pm ET with Sungjae Im, who finished T10 after playing 36 holes. The Irishman will tee off Round 3 at the Olympia Fields Country Club in Illinois following the pairing of Xander Schauffele and Patrick Cantlay teeing off at 12:55 pm. The PGA Tour star will be followed by Harris English and Justin Rose, teeing off at 1:17 pm.
It is pertinent to note that Rory McIlroy entered the FedEx Cup Playoffs weekend as third on the FedEx Cup standings with 2,954 points. He followed leaders Jon Rahm and Scottie Scheffler. The golfer has since been projected to drop one place in the rankings to sit fourth. As of now, Max Homa is set to take the lead in the FedEx Cup points table and push the leaders down by a spot.
It’ll be interesting to see if McIlroy manages an impressive finish this weekend and climbs up the FedEx Cup points before the Tour championship next week.
