Robert MacIntyre probably didn’t want Round 1 to end.
After finishing the opening round of the BMW Championship with six consecutive birdies to take a three-shot lead at Caves Valley Golf Club in Owings Mills, Maryland, MacIntyre will look to keep the momentum going in Friday’s Round 2.
The FedEx Cup Playoffs is in its second leg this weekend, and MacIntyre will be the target for the event’s 48 other challengers. The next closest on the leaderboard is Tommy Fleetwood (-5), who birdied the final hole Thursday to move to within three shots of MacIntyre (-8). Tournament favorite Scottie Scheffler sits in third place at 4-under par.
