It’s the midpoint of the BMW Championship on the PGA Tour.  The BMW is the second stage of the Fed Ex Cup playoffs with an eventual $18 million payday to the last golf professional standing next Sunday at the Tour Championship in Atlanta.  The BMW is being contested at Olympia Fields in suburban south Chicago.  Olympia Fields is a Willie Park Jr. design that first opened for play in 1915.  Park not only won a pair of British Opens in 1887 and 1889 but also designed highly regarded Maidstone in Long Island, Sunningdale in London, and 170 other golf courses.  Olympia Fields has hosted four major championships with Walter Hagen winning the 1925 PGA, Johnny Farrell capturing the 1928 U.S. Open, Jerry Barber making miles of putts to win the 1961 PGA, and Jim Furyk prevailing in the 2003 National Open to secure his one major title.  Olympia Field has a lot of history and yet the perpetual trophy presented to the BMW champion this Sunday does as well.
