As soon as it looked like things were going south for Keegan Bradley ($7,000; 106.5 FPTS), the 38-year-old quickly recovered. Despite three consecutive bogeys on the back nine, the 13-year PGA TOUR veteran regrouped to sink a pair of birdies on the final two holes to surpass Adam Scott ($8,300; 93 FPTS) at the top of the BMW Championship leaderboard.
Scott had a disastrous fourth hole after launching his tee shot into the water and missing a short put attempt for a bogey. The Aussie notted a pair of birdies late to avoid a total collapse and now sits one stroke off the lead.
Xander Schauffele ($11,000; 75.5 FPTS) rocketed himself into contention after shooting a five-under 67. Despite also double-bogeying the third hole, his clinical back nine was enough to get back into the hunt.
Max Greyserman ($6,300; 53 FPTS) had the afternoon’s best round, notching a six under, but finds himself even overall after struggling the first two days.
DraftKings Sportsbook has Badley as the favorite to win it all at +260. Scott is +320, while Schauffele is down to +900.
