BMW Championship 2012: McIlory, Simpson, Van Pelt Lead After First Round
All three leaders recorded an 8-under 64 at Crooked Stick Thursday afternoon, leaving them two shots ahead of Tiger Woods (6-under).
Simpson’s bogey-free round included a stretch of four-straight birdies on hole Nos. 14-18. Van Pelt did most of his birdie work on Crooked Stick’s par fours and fives while playing each par-3 at even par. McIlory’s round included seven birdies (including his final hole of the day), one bogey and an eagle on the par-5 no. 15 hole.
Woods stumbled with two bogeys during his round at hole nos. 4 and 14, but his nine birdies on the day helped him save a 6-under 66, his fifth consecutive sub-70 round.
