"Proud of the way I fought there"- Keegan Bradley pushes his way to the top of the leaderboard ahead of the final round at the 2024 BMW Championship
Keegan Bradley surpassed Adam Scott after the third round of the BMW Championship. Scott was leading the BMW Championship after two rounds with 13-under and Bradley was behind him at 10-under after Friday. However, after Saturday's round, Bradley stood at 12-under while Scott was at 11-under.
Speaking during a press conference after the third round, Keegan Bradley expressed his happiness at having moved to the top of the leaderboard at Castle Pines Golf Club. Discussing the wind-ridden course conditions and how he navigated through the situation smoothly, Bradley said (via ASAP Sports):
“For sure. It was tough out there today. It was really windy, a lot of elevated tees that were into the wind, which makes it really tough. Proud of the way I fought today. I played some brilliant golf but I hit also some terrible shots, too. I guess that's the way of the world. But I'm proud of the way I fought there in the end,” Keegan Bradley said.
"I told myself after those three bogeys in a row that I was either tied for the lead or maybe one back. I don't even know. I would have been happy with that to start the week this late in the tournament. Kept trying to tell myself that. I really hit quality shots coming in after that,” he added.
Keegan Bradley shot six birdies to finish at 66. Then, he dropped five birdies in the second round to finish at 68. In the third round, Bradley carded 8 birdies to land at 70.
