Michael Thorbjornsen keeps rolling along, and the second-year pro from Stanford has put himself in position to reach the Tour Championship.

By going 66-66 to open the BMW Championship at Bellerive, Thorbjornsen headed into the weekend in the projected 30th and last spot to make it to East Lake next week. The kid, who won his first title in Detroit this month, can certainly run hot and cold. In his last five starts, he’s gone Cut/T-7/T-40/Win/T-47. He’s mostly been impressive, though, with eight top-25s in 21 appearances. The Tour Championship bubble projections look like this right now: Thorbjornsen, Tom Kim, Sungjae Im, Adam Scott and Ryan Fox are the last five in; the last five out, from 31st, are Patrick Cantlay, Kurt Kitayama, Rickie Fowler, Bud Cauley and J.T. Poston.
