BMW Championship preview/picks
BMW CHAMPIONSHIP: The third leg of the FedEx Cup Playoffs gets underway on Thursday, as the top 70 in the points standings tee it up at famed Crooked Stick in suburban Indianapolis.

Andy Murray has been playing brilliant tennis, but he’s had issues with consistency in the past and will remain in Djokovic’s shadow until he starts beating the Djoker in matches that matter– something he hasn’t done since the Wimbledon final back in 2013. Meanwhile, a crop of young talent has sprung up and may be ready to break through– guys like Milos Raonic, Dominic Thiem, and Nick Kyrgios all have the ability to beat anyone on any given day.
