Bob and I got warned on No. 9, and I felt like we did some pretty good stuff on 9, 10 and 11 and we somehow didn&#8217;t gain a single second on pace of play. I&#8217;m not really sure how that&#8217;s possible.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;It&#8217;s just one of those things where all of a sudden now I&#8217;m punished for a rules decision I did not totally agree with,&#8221; Scheffler added, &#8220;and then I can feel it gusting on 12, I can feel it gusting on 13, and there was nothing I can do about it; you&#8217;ve got to get up there and hit the shot. Overall I did what I could to keep us on pace, and hopefully we don&#8217;t run into that situation tomorrow.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>As Scheffler and MacIntyre prepare to battle in the final round, one golfer who started the tournament won&#8217;t be able to finish it.<\/p>\n<p>Daniel Berger Withdraws After Injury<\/p>\n<p>On Sunday, Aug. 17 the PGA Tour revealed Daniel Berger, who sat at 2-over for the tournament after three rounds, won&#8217;t be able to finish the BMW Championship after picking up an injury.<\/p>\n<p>Advertisement<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Daniel Berger WD with an injury ahead of his 10:45 a.m. ET final round at the BMW Championship,&#8221; the PGA Tour&#8217;s communications department said in a statement on social media as the final round of the tournament teed off.<\/p>\n<p>Berger entered the BMW Championship just outside the top 30 in the FedEx Cup Playoff standings.
