Scottie Scheffler took care of business in Memphis last week and now heads to St. Louis as both the FedEx Cup leader and the defending champion of the event he is walking into. The BMW Championship is at Bellerive Country Club, the second leg of the playoffs, a 50-man field with no cut playing for a $20 million purse and $3.6 million to the winner. Only the top 30 move on to East Lake, so there should be drama down the stretch for multiple reasons come Sunday.
The Course:
Bellerive is a Robert Trent Jones Sr. design that opened on this site in 1960 and was reworked by his son, Rees, in 2005 and 2006. It will play as a par 70 at 7,448 yards this week, which makes it the longest course the Tour has visited since the U.S. Open. Members play it as a par 72, while the pros lose the fourth and the 10th to par 4s. The fairways are zoysia, the greens are large, undulating bentgrass, and a creek runs through the property and into play on about half the holes. Trent Jones built it around a philosophy he stated plainly: hard par and easy bogey. The holes are laid out in front of you but remain difficult one after another.
