After firing a 2-under 70 in challenging and breezy conditions, next year’s Ryder Cup captain Keegan Bradley owns a one-shot advantage over Adam Scott through 54 holes.
Scott, who set the course record with a 9-under 63 on Friday, looked like a different player on Saturday. The Aussie struggled, shooting a 2-over 74, as his round looked destined for trouble at the onset. He rifled his ball way right off the tee and out of bounds on the first hole.
A pair of Swedes lurks one back of Scott and two off the lead at 10-under. Ludvig Åberg and Alex Noren—the Swedish contingency at this year’s Olympics—will play alongside one another in the penultimate pairing on Sunday.
Xander Schauffele and Wyndham Clark round out the top five as they sit at 7-under, five off the lead.
