Cantlay leads by one shot at BMW
Patrick Cantlay was part of an All-Star chasing pack until he holed out from 106 yards for eagle and carried that to a six-under 65 on Saturday in Wilmington, Del., giving him a one-shot lead and a chance to become the first back-to-back winner of the BMW Championship in the FedEx Cup era.
Next up is another round with a familiar face. Xander Schauffele, his closest friend on the PGA Tour, had a bogey-free 66 and was a shot back, along with Scott Stallings (66).
Cantlay or Schauffele could go to No. 1 in the FedEx Cup — that also depends on how Masters champion Scottie Scheffler fares — with a win and start the Tour Championship with a twoshot lead.
Adam Scott held his own with a 69 and was only two shots behind.
