The world’s strongest Shepler wins the BMW Championship
The world’s No. 1 Scotty Shepler (USA) won the BMW Championship in the second leg of the playoffs. He showed his commitment to winning the final tour championship.
Shepler won three strokes in the fourth round of the BMW Championship ($ 20 million in total) in the second round of the US Professional Golf (PGA) Tour Playoffs (FedEx Cup) held at the Kave Valley Golf Club (par 70) in Owins Valley, Mary, USA on the 18th. At the end of the second leg of the playoffs for $ 3.6 million in the winning prize, the bonus of $ 5 million, which was ranked No. 1 in the FedEx Cup ranking, won a total of $ 8.6 million.
Shepler started four shots to Robert McKin Tire (Scotland). However, while McKin Tire lost three strokes without holding a birdie to the 11th hole, he climbed to the second stroke, reducing three strokes.
Shepler was virtually scored by putting a chip shot in the hole 25m from the 17th hole (par 3) when McKin Tire, who caught the first birdie in the 16th hole (par 5), was in the 25m distance from the 17th hole (par 3). After the ball fell to the green, it seemed to stop at the edge of the hole cup. “It was really good when the ball fell to the green, when I rolled it,” he said. “I don’t want to hit it for a day.”
Sheller, who defeated Diofen last month, won five wins and 18 wins in the season. The FedEx Cup ranking No. 1 Shepler is aiming for two consecutive games in the playoff final tour championship, which will begin on the 22nd. The Tour Championship winner will get $ 10 million in the Pedes Cup prize. The last 30th place is $ 355,000.
McKin Tire is runner -up with 13 under pars, while Lori McKilroy (Northern Ireland) is tied for 12th (3 under par).
Lim Sung -jae reduced three strokes on the day, tied for 40th among 50 people with a total of 10 over -pars. Lim Sung -jae is the 28th place in the FedEx Cup ranking, winning the tour championship for seven consecutive years since 2019.
In this year’s tour championship, all 30 people started with zero and the winning opportunity was the same.
Kim Si -woo finished in the 19th place (Ibvenpa), but he is 37th in the FedEx Cup ranking, and he cannot go to the tour championship.
