(Reuters) - Two weeks after a late meltdown, Marc Leishman avoided a repeat performance as he staved off a challenge from Justin Rose to win the BMW Championship by five strokes outside Chicago on Sunday.

The Australian's dominant win at Conway Farms in Lake Forest shot him to fourth in the FedExCup standings ahead of the Tour Championship finale, behind leader Jordan Spieth, Justin Thomas and Dustin Johnson.
