With the final round of the BMW Championship commencing soon, all eyes remain on the top 30 spots. Jordan Spieth, who looks to make it into his third consecutive TOUR Championship, right now holds the 31st spot in the FedEx points list, per NUCLR GOLF on Twitter (now X).

As the Top 30 players on the standings make it into the TOUR Championship next week, the game in Chicagoland is set to get even more serious. Spieth, this Sunday, remains focused on setting his score all right for the last round to register his name for the same.

The 2015 Tour Championship victor stays one birdie away from making it to the No.28 spot on the FedEx Cup, according to the PGA Tour website. Although, even a single bogey would bring him down to the 32nd spot. Not only his own performance, but even others like Denny McCarthy losing the plot, would allow Spieth to make a place in the Tour Championship.

All attention remains set on his tee time at 9:44 am local time on Sunday for the final results. Amidst the PGA Tour professional’s probable struggles ahead, Hideki Matsuyama grabs media attention with his adversity prior to the tournament.
