Background:

The BMW Championship is being held Sept. 4th through Sept. 7th at Bellerive Country Club in St. Louis, MO. 72 holes will be played on this 7,456 yard par 71 course. Par for four rounds is 284. Tiger shot a record 262 in 2007. That was 22 under par. How many in the starting field of 69 golfers will finish at 8 under par or lower? I chose -8 as the metric because par in the previous tournaments was too easy to achieve.
Here are two links to help you decide:
2007 results: Par was 284 for 4 rounds. 17 shot -8 or lower.

Finally, these guys seem to be playing on a course that they cannot totally dominate. Only half of them are under par for a change.
