Patrick Cantlay takes down Bryson DeChambeau in six-hole playoff to win wild BMW Championship

Cantlay now has five wins on Tour and will begin next week’s Tour Championship with a head start.

Bryson DeChambeau and Patrick Cantlay put on an incredible performance in the penultimate event of the PGA Tour season on Sunday.

Each looking for his third win of the season, the potential future Ryder Cup teammates with contrasting styles went shot-for-shot down the stretch at Caves Valley Golf Club in Owings Mills, Maryland, with Cantlay coming out on top after a six-hole playoff.

Cantlay now has five wins to his name on the PGA Tour and will begin next week’s Tour Championship at East Lake in Atlanta with a head start at 10 under. The victory is his first FedEx Cup Playoff win, but his third win via a playoff.

Tied with three holes to play at 27 under, DeChambeau flexed in celebration after he made birdie on the 16th to take a one-up lead at 28 under. After both players made bogey on the par-3 17th, Cantlay rolled in a birdie putt on the 72nd hole from 21 feet to tie DeChambeau, who missed his putt for the win from 12 feet.

On the fifth playoff hole, the par-3 17th, both players went pin-seeking. DeChambeau was first, leaving just six feet to put the pressure on Cantlay, who responded with a dart inside three feet. Both made birdie and each hit fantastic approach shots into the green on the 18th. Cantlay made his birdie while DeChambeau missed low to end the marathon day.

Favorite

Bryson DeChambeau (+2000)

DeChambeau was the first two-time winner on the 2020-21 PGA Tour season but he has no victories and just three top-10 finishes in his last 13 events. He’s coming off a lackluster T-31 finish last week and enters the second-to-last event of the season ninth in the FedEx Cup standings.

Despite his recent (relative) struggles, and media silence, DeChambeau still leads all qualified golfers and players in this field with 1.14 Strokes Gained: Off-the-Tee per round. The length and wide landing areas of Caves Valley are well-suited to his game and he recently tied for eighth at the WGC-FedEx St. Jude Invitational while gaining 0.85 strokes per round with the putter.

Contender

Sam Burns (+5000)

Burns broke out in early May with his first career PGA Tour win at the Valspar Championship and followed it up with a runner-up finish two weeks later at the AT&T Byron Nelson. He returned to the front page of the leaderboard at the WGC-Invitational event with a T-2 finish before tying for 21st last week.

He comes into the BMW Championship 12th in the season-long standings but shares just the 24th-best odds to win. He’s averaging 0.67 SG: Approach and 0.52 SG: Putting for the season on top of 0.27 SG: Off-the-Tee per round.

Long shot

Sergio Garcia (+9000)

The 41-year-old former Masters champ has struggled with the putter all season and missed the cut last week but Caves Valley sets up as a strong course fit. He trails only DeChambeau and Rahm among qualified golfers in SG: Off-the-Tee.

He should also be highly motivated this week while in need of a strong finish in order to advance to the Tour Championship. He begins the week at No. 44 in the season-long standings with his only win of the 2020-21 campaign coming at the Sanderson Farms Championship last fall.
