The second round of the PGA Tour’s FedEx Cup Playoffs is in the books, with Wyndham Clark getting his third win of the season in impressive fashion at the BMW Championship in St. Louis and putting his name at the top of the Player of the Year conversation in the process.
But there was another big name who made a statement over the weekend even though he was unable to catch Clark—Rory McIlroy. The No. 2 player in the world had a disastrous showing in Memphis last week where he finished better than only two other players in the field. He bounced back in St. Louis, however, finishing in a tie for third and now seems poised to be a factor at the Tour Championship this week in Atlanta.
