That covered a lot of territory Saturday at the BMW Championship. DeChambeau had back-to-back eagles with sheer strength and a remarkable touch with the putter. And then he had consecutive holes with shots into the water that cost him a four-shot lead. "It was definitely colorful," DeChambeau said.

So crazy was this action that DeChambeau went from a one-shot deficit to a three-shot lead in the span of two holes with his long eagle putts, only for Cantlay to go from a four-shot deficit to a one-shot lead in two holes on the back nine with his birdies and DeChambeau's blunders. DeChambeau steadied himself over the final three holes for a 5-under 67. Cantlay didn't drop a shot unt
