Golf-'Big Three' set for BMW Championship battle

LAKE FOREST, Illinois, Sept 16 (Reuters) - With the 'Big Three' of Rory McIlroy, Jordan Spieth and Jason Day dominating golf at the top level, the latest chapter in their battle for supremacy will unfold at this week's BMW Championship.

World number one McIlroy, second-ranked Spieth and Day (third) are all in the elite field of 70 players at Conway Farms for the third of the PGA Tour's four FedExCup playoff events as they look to end their respective seasons with additional wins.

Australian Day is the best positioned of the three heading into Thursday's opening round, having triumphed three times in his last five events to lead the FexExCup standings over second-placed Spieth.
