The third leg of the FedEx Cup playoffs kicks off today with a field of 70, all gunning for a share of the bumper prize fund. This will be the first time Bellerive has hosted the BMW Championship and “The Green Monster of Ladue Road” is setting up for the big hitters who are fresh thanks to the after effects of Hurricane Gustav.
This means Vijay Singh could be on for his third win in a row after convincing himselfhe is the best putter in the world. Singh is already favourite for the $10 millionprize after his wins at the first two FedEx events and don’t bet against him makingit three from three. Others to consider are Stewart Cink who has the game to makethis course work for him, and Camillo Villegas who has averaged 18 birdies per eventin the past month.
It looks as if the weather conditions are going to be atrocious so the players shouldbe prepared for 72 holes in three days. The leftover forces from Hurricane Gustavwill mean tee balls won’t roll but approach shots will stick and stop.
Sergio Garcia and Mike Weir can make the Tour Championship a lot more interestingif they can pick up a win here, although it would probably need a win in Atlanta topip Singh to that monster prize. Double Major winner Padraig Harrington needs a top5 finish to qualify for the Tour Championship.
