Justin Thomas won the 2019 BMW Championship in Medinah, Illinois, on Sunday, but he also took an important step toward the $15 million bonus awaiting the FedEx Cup winner this year.
Thomas shot a four-under 68 on Sunday to move to 25-under for the tournament and three shots clear of second-place finisher Patrick Cantlay. He is sitting atop the FedEx Cup standings as a result and will have the No. 1 spot heading into the TOUR Championship at East Lake Golf Club in Atlanta.
He won't have to fend off defending TOUR Championship winner Tiger Woods or 2015 FedEx Cup champion Jordan Spieth considering they're both outside the top 30 in the standings.
