After a week off, 70 PGA Tour members return to the course in search of a victory at the BMW Championship. The event is the third stop in the four-tournament FedEx Cup Playoff series. All 70 participants will feature till Sunday, but only the top 30 in the FedEx Cup standings will advance to The Tour Championship in Atlanta next Thursday.
As it stands, David Lingmerth is the man on the bubble at No. 31.

Odds
Jason Day tied for 12th at the Deutsche Bank Championship and tied for fourth during his last visit to Conway Farms. The Australian is the odds-on favorite at +700. Unsurprisingly, Rory McIlroy (+850) and Jordan Spieth (+1100) are second and third choice, respectively.
Prediction
There's something to be said about Matt Kuchar's year on the Tour. The 37-year-old is 20th in the FedEx Cup standings and is coming off a tied-for-ninth performance at the Deutsche Bank Championship. Ready to strike, the greens at Conway Farms will suit him.
