Rory McIlroy put together an all-around solid performance at the BMW Championship, finishing T12. It was his first result outside the top 10 since the U.S. Open, and he'll look to carry his impressive form into the Tour Championship, where he has enjoyed great success. McIlroy has won at East Lake three times and finished inside the top 10 on eight occasions in 11 appearances. For him to keep that success going, strong play off the tee, from tee to green, and on long approach shots will be pivotal. He currently ranks 12th in strokes gained from tee to green (plus-0.971 per round), third off the tee (plus-0.654), and fourth in driving distance. While his approach play sits at 62nd overall, he is just 85th in proximity from 175-200 yards and 42nd from 200-plus yards. Still, McIlroy is the ultimate course horse at East Lake, and at $11,300 on DraftKings, he is a strong pivot from top-priced Scottie Scheffler.--Dakota Legg - RotoBaller
