It's moving day at the BMW Championship as the PGA Tour returns to Bellerive Country Club for the second event of the FedEx Cup playoffs.
Wyndham Clark finished out Round 2 as the leader on Friday, Aug. 21.
The lead changed several times with players including Rory McIlroy, Gary Woodland and Clark racing to the top of a star-studded leaderboard. World No. 1 Scottie Scheffler rebounded after a rough start to Round 1.
The field is loaded with big names since only the top 50 golfers in the FedEx Cup points standings after last week's FedEx St. Jude Championship qualified for the BMW Championship.
The top 30 golfers in the FedEx Cup standings after the Sunday, Aug. 23 final round will move on to the Tour Championship in Atlanta next week. It means there's
intrigue atop the leaderboard, as well as on the bubble, as the world's best try to make it to next week's Tour Championship. Patrick Cantlay, Rickie Fowler and Justin Thomas are among those battling for the final spots to close out the FedEx Cup playoffs.
USA TODAY Sports is tracking all the action with live updates on the latest leaderboard movements.
