On a day rather inhospitable for golf viewing, fans have turned out in reasonably large numbers for the final day of the 108th Western Open, a.k.a. the BMW Championship, at Cog Hill Golf & Country Club.
For eight holes, they saw a wet parade. Justin Rose led by as many as five strokes, including through the par-5 eighth, until he bogeyed the par-5 ninth and John Senden, playing with him, birdied the hole in a brief downpour amidst a misty day.
Rose is 13-under at the turn, Senden 10-under, with Geoff Ogilvy 9-under through 10 holes. The only player making a move, Camilo Villegas, is 6-under today and 7-under overall with a hole to play.
Since 1958, the leader in the Western / BMW at the turn has gone on to win 64 percent of the time. It’s happened 14 of 18 times when the lead was three or more strokes.
A complete report when at the conclusion of play. Updates when warranted.
