BMW Championship 2012 Results: Rory McIlroy Wins 2nd Straight Following 67

Rory McIlroy fired a final-round 67 on Sunday at the 2012 BMW Championship at Crooked Stick Golf Club to capture his second straight PGA TOUR victory and all the momentum heading into the FedEx Cup finals at East Lake.

He came out of a four-way tie after making back-to-back birdies on the back nine, and it would be enough for the two-time major champion to hold off a host of capable challengers.

Phil Mickelson and Lee Westwood would succumb to mistakes that would allow McIlroy to pull away. Westwood mishit a chip shot on the 14th hole that led to a bogey. He made a par on the par-5 15th and gave another stroke to the field en route to a 69.

Mickelson had a roller coaster ride of a round and finished with a two-under 70 after going into the day with a share of the lead.

Former world No. 1 Tiger Woods finished tied for fourth and shot a 68.

BMW Championship 2012: TV Schedule, Tee Times, Pairings For Saturday

The PGA Tour will once again utilize split tees and threesomes on Saturday at the third round of the 2012 BMW Championship. The weather has affected play and altered tee times throughout the week, and more bad weather is forecasted for Saturday evening in the Indianapolis area.

The threesomes mean that Tiger Woods and Rory McIlroy will be split up. Had the Tour opted to go with pairings, the two would have played together for the third straight day. Woods will go off in the second-to-last group at 12:50 p.m. ET, and McIlroy will be playing with Vijay Singh and Ryan Moore in the final group of the day at 1:01 p.m. ET.

Due to the altered tee times, the broadcast coverage has been switched around as well. NBC will come on the air at Noon and carry their broadcast until 3:30 p.m. NBC's sister station, Golf Channel, will then pick up coverage at 3:30 p.m. ET and run with it until the completion of the third round, set for around 6 p.m. ET (or until the weather comes).

Moore came into to the weekend on the outside of the top 30 cut-off to qualify for the Tour Championship in the FedEx Cup Standings. If he stays in second-place, he is projected to move into 11th and move on comfortably.

BMW Championship 2012: Ryan Moore Leads Round 2

Lots of golfers are scoring well at Crooked Stick, but Ryan Moore leads the pack at 10-under on Round 2 at the BMW Championship.

Moore got off to a hot start with back-to-back-to-back birdies on holes 4-6 and finished the front nine at 4-under. He's still there, on top of the leaderboard with a 10-under on the tournament. Two golfers off to extremely hot starts on Friday are behind him at 9-under: Lee Westwood and Seung-Yul Noh each are 5-under at the day to enter a five-way tie for second a stroke back of Moore. Westwood capped his first nine with an eagle, while Noh has seven birdies on the day. They're tied with Bo Van Pelt and Rory McIlroy, who started the day in first, as well as Vijay Singh.

Tiger Woods is definitely in the hunt at 8-under, tied with Graeme McDowell, Luke Donald, Webb Simpson, and Graham DeLaet two back of the leaders in third.

2012 BMW Championship: TV Schedule, Tee Times, Parings For Friday

The threat of inclement weather has moved teems times up three hours on Friday at the BMW Championship. The Tour will have threesomes going off both tees, with tee times running consecutively from 8 a.m. ET through 10:01 a.m. ET. Typically, there would be two separate morning and afternoon waves. But weather reports are calling for a 60 percent chance of thunderstorms for the afternoon in the Indianapolis area. Weather has already had a dramatic effect on the week, with heavy rains over the weekend leading to soft conditions and lift, clean, and place rules in effect on Thursday.

Keegan Bradely is set to go off with Carl Pettersson and Bubba Watson at 8:22 a.m. ET. Bradley finished the first round at 1-under, seven shots back of a quartet of leaders. But as we saw last week in Norton, Bradley has the capability to make up that margin in one day by going super low. His 63 at TPC Boston instantly put him back into the conversation for the Deutsche Bank. While he's likely not in danger of missing out on Atlanta, he'll try to make that type of charge on Friday at Pete Dye's home course.

Rory McIlroy, who's tied with Webb Simpson, Bo Van Pelt, and Graham DeLaet, will tee off with Tiger Woods at 9:39 a.m. ET. Golf Channel will carry the broadcast from 3 p.m. ET through 6 p.m. ET, with the coverage almost certainly all tape-delayed action due to the change in tee times. The complete schedule of groups and times below:
