Putter saves Bradley on 'really windy, tough day' at BMW
The Straits Times|August 26, 2024
A strong finish on Aug 24 has Keegan Bradley in the lead by one stroke after the third round of the BMW Championship at Castle Pines Golf Club.

The 2025 United States Ryder Cup captain birdied the last two holes to post a round of two-under 70, putting him at 12-under 204 for the tournament heading into the final round on Aug 25. The last man to secure a spot in the 50player field, Bradley also led after the first round of the FedEx Cup play-offs' penultimate event.

It was a wild, up-and-down round for the 2011 PGA Championship winner, who had eight birdies and six bogeys and hit only 50 per cent of greens in regulation. But Bradley's putter bailed him out, as he ranked No. 1 on the day with 1.11 putts per green in regulation.

"It was tough out there today," the 38-year-old said.
