The 2021 BMW Championship final leaderboard is headed by winner Patrick Cantlay, who prevailed in a playoff at Caves Valley Golf Club in Owings Mills, Md.
Cantlay and Bryson DeChambeau finished regulation tied at 27-under 261. Cantlay made a 20-foot birdie putt on the final hole after making a clutch up-and-down for bogey on the 17th hole after hitting his par-3 tee shot in the water. DeChambeau couldn't get up-and-down for par on 17 or make a closer birdie putt on 18.
In the playoff, DeChambeau missed several opportunities to win. However, on the sixth playoff hole on No. 18, Cantlay made a 20-foot birdie putt to win the title.
Sungjae Im finished in third, four shots out of the playoff.
Cantlay won the $1,710,000 winner's share of the $9,500,000 purse.
