Halfway point at BMW Championship 2023second round of the FedEx Cup playoffs. On the North Course course of Olympia Fields Country Club, in Illinois, the best 50 players of the season, but the brightest star of the second round bears the name of Max Homa.
The 32-year-old Californian took the lead with an extraordinary 62 rounds, by far the best round score recorded so far. With the beauty of 10 birdies (also accompanied by two bogeys), Homa brought his total score to -10, gaining 11 positions. If the tournament ended like this, Homa would lead the FedEx rankings, as well as rightfully on the USA Ryder Cup team.
The closest pursuer is Chris Kirk who combines yesterday’s 66 with a new 66 bringing his total score to -8. Three consecutive birdies and no bogey allow him to stay in contact with the leader. Behind him a pair of major winners: the Englishman Matt Fitzpatrick and the American Brian Harman they share third place at -7.
Golf aristocracy in the group of fifths at -5: Harris English, Rickie Fowler, Justin Rose ed i primi due del ranking mondiale Scottie Scheffler e Rory McIlroy, After finishing the first round on top, the Northern Irishman was no more than PAR in the second round. Round to forget for Jon Rahm who collapses in 35th place with a lap in 74 (+4). Also noteworthy is the withdrawal of Hideki Matsuyama, still a victim of back problems.
