The top 50 in the FedExCup Playoffs (minus Sepp Straka, who’s putting his feet up because he’s already secured a Tour Championship slot), are in action at the BMW Championship at Caves Valley Golf Club this weekend. Only the top 30 will make the cut for next week’s FedEx Cup Playoffs decider.

Bob MacIntyre (14-under) is a whopping five strokes clear ahead of Round 3, with Scottie Scheffler (9-under), Ludvig Aberg (8-under) and Hideki Matsuyama (7-under) leading the chase, albeit from a distance.

Scheffler and Rory McIlroy (4-under) are both in contention in Maryland. It’s the first event both players are participating in since the British Open. Scheffler tied with Fleetwood in third at the FedEx St. Jude Championship a week ago, behind only JJ Spaun and tournament winner Justin Rose.

And if the stakes weren’t already sky high, the BMW Championship has Ryder Cup implications too. The top six Americans in the points standings at the end of play on Sunday will qualify for the Ryder Cup team. As things stand, Scheffler, Spaun and Xander Schauffele are in, but Russell Henley, Bryson DeChambeau and Harris English have Justin Thomas and Collin Morikawa chasing them down.
