MEDINAH, Ill. – It turns out Phil Mickelson wasn’t the only PGA Tour player whose routine was disrupted by a lightning strike and hotel fire ahead of the final round of the BMW Championship.

Like Mickelson, J.T. Poston is staying this week at the Eaglewood Resort & Spa, which sits less than a mile from tournament host Medinah Country Club. Poston was in the hotel at approximately 9:15 a.m. ET when lightning struck the roof, sparking a roof fire that led to an evacuation of the building.
