The FedEx Cup playoffs continue on Thursday when the first round of the 2012 BMW Championship gets underway at Crooked Stick Golf Club in Indiana. At this time, Ian Poulter, Bo Van Pelt, Zach Johnson and Tiger Woods sit atop the leaderboard all tied for first with a 4-under par.

Johnson also started on the back nine, shooting consecutive birdies on holes 11 and 12 and an eagle on his sixth hole (15).
