Collin Morikawa and Byeong Hun An on target to reach the Tour Championship; Max Homa rides a roller-coaster on Friday
Collin Morikawa took the long way to finishing where he started the day at the BMW Championship on Friday. Fellow Cal golfing alum Byeong Hun An stayed the course as both moved through the FedEx Cup playoffs toward next week’s season-ending Tour Championship.
Morikawa, 27, began the day in 10th place in the second leg of the playoffs and at No. 5 in the FedEx Cup points standings. The 27-year-old included two bogeys and a double-bogey on the front nine, then got hot. Meanwhile, Homa’s challenging season reached perhaps a new height for up-and-down performance. He shot 75 despite making seven birdies — six of them on the front nine.
The one-time UNLV golfer, who has to add this season to his career total of 14 PGA wins, began the day in the precarious position of No. 41 in the points standings. Now, after rapidly soaring 37 slots, he heads into the weekend at No. 4.
