GOLF In BMW, Horschel gets shot at redemption By The Associated Press MailTribune.com By The Associated Press Posted Sep. 6, 2014 @ 6:58 pm Updated Sep 6, 2014 at 7:15 PM By The Associated Press Posted Sep. 6, 2014 @ 6:58 pm Updated Sep 6, 2014 at 7:15 PM » Social News CHERRY HILLS VILLAGE, Colo. — Billy Horschel needed less than a week to give himself a second chance. If he keeps playing this well, his next shot at closing out a tournament won’t be nearly as stressful as the last one. Horschel made a 32-foot birdie putt Saturday to wrap up his bogey-free third round at 7-under 63 and take a three-shot lead over Ryan Palmer heading into the final 18 holes of the BMW Championship. On Monday at the Deutsche Bank Championship, Horschel had a 6-iron in hand on the 18th fairway and a chance to win or force a playoff, but he chunked the shot, made bogey and settled for a disappointing second-place tie. “It happened,” said Horschel, who stands at 13-under 197. “It’s not a big deal. Just a bad swing at the wrong time. You can’t dwell on things like that.” Five days later, he gave himself a cushion at the third of the four FedEx Cup playoff events, rolling in a 22 footer for birdie on 14, then an 8-foot birdie on 15 to vault into the lead. He closed it out with the long one on 18 — the uphill, par-4 477-yard closing hole that is the third toughest on the course and has surrendered only 18 birdies all week. Horschel had one of 14 rounds of 67 or better at mile-high Cherry Hills, where soaking rains and cool weather over the last two days have softened the course and chipped away at some of its defenses. There were 15 67s or better through the first two days. The course played 1.7 shots easier Saturday than it did Thursday. “The greens are so much more soft than the first day,” said Morgan Hoffman, who briefly flirted with 59 but had to settle for an 8-under 62. “You can really throw it at the flags and keep it there.” Masters champion Bubba Watson shot 66 to draw into a third-place tie at 8 under with U.S. Open champion Martin Kaymer, who made seven birdies over the last 12 holes to shoot 64. “Should have been eight,” said Kaymer, who three-putted from inside 20 feet on the par-5 17th and settled for par. Wasn’t the worst display on the greens, though. Rory McIlroy made a 60-footer on the fourth to get into a brief tie for the lead but gave all that back and more with a four-putt from inside of 5 feet on No. 12 — bringing gasps from the crowd. It was McIlory’s first triple-bogey or worse since the first hole of last year’s BMW Championship. “I completely misread the first one,” he said. “Then, just hit a bad put the second, and then the third one, I was just going for a tap-in and just lost concentration.” The world’s top-ranked player shot 2-over 72 and goes into today nine shots off the lead. QUEBEC CHAMPIONSHIP: At Quebec City, defending champion Esteban Toledo shot a 6-under 66 for a share of the second-round lead with Brad Faxon in the Champions Tour’s Quebec Championship. The 51-year-old Toledo, the only Mexican winner in the history of the 50-and-over tour, matched Faxon at 10-under 134 at La Tempete in the first PGA Tour-sanctioned event in the area since the 1956 Labatt Open at Royal Quebec. Toledo won the then-Montreal Championship last year at La Vallee du Richelieu for his second Champions Tour victory. Faxon, also a two-time senior winner, had a 67. CHIQUITA CLASSIC: At Davidson, N.C. Greg Chalmers birdied two of the last four holes for a 5-under 67 and a one-stroke lead in the Chiquita Classic, the second of four events in the Web.com Tour Finals. Chalmers, the 40-year-old Australian who finished 132nd in the PGA Tour’s FedEx Cup standings, had a 15-under 201 total at River Run. He had eight birdies and three bogeys in the third round. Nos. 126-200 in the FedEx Cup standings and Nos. 26-75 from the Web.com Tour’s regular-season money list are playing for 25 PGA Tour cards based on their earnings in the four tournaments.
