Byeong Hun An’s Outlook For BMW Championship
This tournament was last played at Olympia Fields in 2020, with An finishing T12. Coming into this week, An's odds are currently at 55/1 at most sportsbooks. This week's field features the top 50 in FedEx Cup standings and will be a stronger field than what An has seen in his last couple of starts. Despite the strong field, An has shown the ability to finish strong, evidenced by his two top-five finishes in his previous three appearances.
In recent weeks, An has demonstrated exceptional putting and off-the-tee skills, which will be crucial if he intends to stay within the top 30 and play in the final leg of the FedEx Cup playoffs next week. Typically, the BMW Championship demands golfers be highly accurate off the tee and precise with their approach shots. An will need to perform at his best to raise his playoff ceiling and secure his spot at the Tour Championship. Therefore, it will be interesting to see how he performs and whether he can continue his impressive run of form.
