What: 2013 PGA Tour - BMW Championship When: First Tee Off at 1.20am AEST - Friday, September 12th
Golf is back!
The fed ex cup playoffs continue this week at Conway Farms Golf Club in Chicago. Only a small field (70 ) will enter the BMW Championship and only the top 30 will make it to the final stage of the tour championship.
The Windy City looks like it is going to live up to it's name this week. The winner will more than likely be in the top 10 rankings of ballstriking this season.
We are picking Justin Rose this week. He comes in as one of the hottest golfers and has shot under par in all 8 rounds of the playoffs. One of the great ballstrikers and should be acustom to the cold windy conditions.
