Finally, Philadelphia gets to host a PGA Tour event again.
Five years after the region hosted the 2013 U.S. Open at Merion and six after Aronimink last hosted a PGA event, the historic Newtown Square golf club was the site of Tiger Woods and Rory McIlroy shooting dueling 62's in Thursday's second round.
The 70 best golfers on the planet will continue to vie for the BMW Championship this weekend. Here are a few of our favorite shots from the early action in the FedEx Cup's penultimate event.
