Wyndham Clark secured his third victory of the season and the sixth PGA TOUR title of his career at the BMW Championship, finishing with an even-par 70 and a 17-under 263 total at Bellerive Country Club, according to tournament records. According to the PGA TOUR, Clark earned $3.6 million from the $20-million prize fund and collected 750 FedExCup points, moving him to third in the ranks for the winner-take-all TOUR Championship.
How Wyndham Clark Secured the BMW Championship Title
According to PGA TOUR reports, Clark converted crucial birdies ranging from 13 to 18 feet on his final three holes to prevail by three strokes. Clark entered the final round holding a five-shot lead, though that margin vanished momentarily when he tied for the lead with Rory McIlroy before his late-round birdie sequence. McIlroy ultimately carded a par-bogey-par finish to finish third, four strokes back, at 267 / -13.

Presidents Cup Automatic Qualifiers

The odd man out at the buzzer is Ben Griffin (T44 at Bellerive).
Did You Know? The way Wyndham Clark wrapped up the BMW Championship closely mirrored the fashion in which Russell Henley secured his spot in a playoff at the Charles Schwab Challenge back in late May.
