Golf
Leishman opens with a 62 to lead BMW Championship
Marc
Leishman
watches
his sec-
ond shot
on the
16th hole
during
the first
round of
the BMW
Champi-
onship at
Conway
Farms
Golf Club,
Thursday
in Lake
Forest, Ill.
By DOUG FERGUSON
Associated Press
LAKE FOREST, Ill. —
Marc Leishman left his golf
clubs in his garage during his
week break from the FedEx
Cup playoff and it didn’t
change anything. He made 10
birdies in the opening round
of the BMW Championship
for a 9-under 62 to build a
two-shot lead.
Jason Day made the
biggest change of his career
and had a 64, his best start in
16 months.
The race to the FedEx
Cup finale got off to a
blistering start Thursday at
Conway Farms, and no one
could top Leishman. The
Australian finished third at
the TPC Boston two weeks
ago, did nothing last week
except practice putting in the
room above his garage, and
then ran off seven birdies
in a nine-hole stretch in the
middle of his round and
matched his best score on the
PGA Tour.
“When you play golf and
all you’re thinking about
his making birdies, it’s a lot
easier than trying to not make
bogeys,” Leishman said.
Day made five birdies on
the back nine to atone for a
sluggish start in a tournament
where his expectations were
up in the air. He decided last
week that Colin Swatton,
the most meaningful figure
in his golf career, would no

longer caddie for at least the
rest of the year. Day instead
used an old roommate from
his school days in Australia,
Luke Reardon. If that wasn’t
enough, he also changed
putters.
That might not have been
nearly as significant as the
good vibes from a six-shot
victory at Conway Farms
two years ago. Whatever the
case, he had no complaints
about his lowest score since
a 63 in the AT&T Byron
Nelson in May, and his best
opening round since a 63 at
The Players Championship a
year ago, which was the last
tournament he won.
“A good step in the right
direction, especially with
having Luke on the bag,”
Day said. “Obviously, not
having Colin on the bag is
something different and I
just didn’t know how I was
going to play. I think Luke
did a fantastic job out there.
We worked well together
and hope we can keep that
going.”
Charley Hoffman, picked
for the Presidents Cup a week
ago, birdied his last two holes
for a 64. Jamie Lovemark
also had a 64 with a little
more style, drilling a fairway
metal over the creek to 8 feet
for eagle on the par-5 18th.
Jordan Spieth, a runner-up
in the last two FedEx Cup
playoff events to take over
the No. 1 spot in the stand-
ings, turned a wild tee shot
into a birdie on the opening
hole, added a 30-foot birdie
from off the green at No. 5
and settled down the rest of
the way for a bogey-free 65.
“I felt like I really stole
a few shots out of this golf
course, which is rare to feel
like you scored better than
you played,” Spieth said.
Also at 65 was Rickie
Flower, who showed a
streaky side. Fowler birdied
the first hole. He bogeyed
the second hole. He followed
with nine straight pars. And
then he ran off six straight
birdies, capped by a 65-foot
pitch from short of the 17th
green.
Fowler had a chance to
match a career best with
seven straight birdies, but
he chose not to take on the
stream at the par-5 18th and
laid up. He hit wedge to 12
feet and missed the birdie
putts, with no regrets.
This was only Thursday,
and he saw no need in ruining
a big finish with a shot he
would have had to hit flush.
“Come Sunday, if I’m in
good position, that will be a
go, and see what happens,”
he said.
Tony Finau, Keegan
Bradley and Rafa Cabrera
Bello also were at 65, while
Phil Mickelson played
bogey-free and opened with
a 66.
The top 30 in the FedEx
Cup after this week make it
to the Tour Championship at
East Lake for a mathematical
shot at the $10 million bonus,
with odds significantly
higher depending on the
position in the standings. The
top five players — Spieth,
Justin Thomas and Dustin
Johnson already are assured
that position — would only
have to win at East Lake to
claim golf’s richest prize.
Thomas hit a tee shot into
the water on the par-3 11th
and made double bogey,
though he still shot 67.
Johnson had a three-hole
stretch at 4 over early in his
round and recovered for a 71.
For players like Mick-
elson, Finau and Bradley,
they need to play well over
the next three days to get into
the top 30.
Mickelson found some-
thing a few weeks ago,
whether it was medication or
his diet as it relates to psori-
atic arthritis, but it has given
him great clarity of the shots
he sees and more energy to
keep his mind from drifting.
He tied for sixth two weeks
ago outside Boston and
was sharp again at Conway
Farms.
Lefty already is assured
of competing in his 23rd
consecutive team competi-
tion as a captain’s pick for
the Presidents Cup. Now
he’d like to make it back to
East Lake.
