2014 BMW Championship Picks - Results

The final round of the 2014 BMW Championship has just concluded at Cherry Hills Country Club in Denver, Colorado. The winner this year is Billy Horschel who, despite shooting a 69 on his final round, ended up winning the tournament by two shots over Bubba Watson (who finished solo second). This is just Billy's second win on the PGA Tour and perhaps his biggest and most important, with his other win being the 2013 Zurich Classic of New Orleans. With this win, Horschel moves from 20th to 2nd on the FedEx Cup Rankings, a position which puts him in a very good spot for next week's Tour Championship.

Horschel has been playing well in the past two weeks, having finished T2 at last week's Deutsche Bank Championship; he certainly is deserving of this win.

Another big story this week was Rory McIlroy. Rory, who was playing well all week, shocked everyone by making a four-putt on the par 3 12th hole on Saturday. Unfortunately for him and even more surprising to golf fans was the fact that he fout-putted the same hole again just hours ago. I guess this proves that he is human after all.

In other news, two members of Tom Watson's US Ryder Cup team have withdrawn from the tournament due to poor performance; Phil Mickelson and Captian's pick Keegan Bradley. This is the first time Phil will miss the Tour Championship in quite awhile, but he says he withdrew so he could have more time to focus on the Ryder Cup. This caps off a poor year for Mickelson all together.

Finally, here is how our picks finished the tournament:

1) Justin Rose: 35th at even par (E)
2) Webb Simpson: T53 at 5-over (+5)
3) Rickie Fowler: T4 at 9-under (-9)

1) Graeme McDowell: T36 at 1-over (+1)

Again, Rickie Fowler has played well when it matters. 

Stay tuned for our coverage of the final FedEx Cup Playoff event the Tour Championship next week,
