Wyndham Clark Pulls Away for 5-Shot Lead at Bellerive over McIlroy and Cantlay
McIlroy shot a five-under 67 and said it will take a heroic effort to catch leader Wyndham Clark.
- On Saturday, Wyndham Clark extended his lead at the BMW Championship to five shots, firing a 5-under 65 at Bellerive in St. Louis for his second five-shot advantage entering a final round this year.
- After an early double bogey on the first hole, Clark capitalized on a hot streak, recording five birdies and an eagle over an eight-hole stretch that pulled him clear of the field.
- Rory McIlroy climbed to 12 under with a 65, recording four consecutive birdies from the 13th and saving par from a bunker on the 18th to stay within striking distance.
- Players are competing to secure spots among the top 30 in the FedEx Cup standings, with advancement leading to next week's finale at East Lake in Atlanta for a $10 million payoff.
- A "heroic effort" is required to catch Clark, McIlroy said, as the leader pursues his third victory this year heading into the final round.
