POTOMAC, Maryland – Keegan Bradley is a native New Englander, a four-time PGA TOUR winner, 42nd in the FedExCup, and at 65th in the world is just outside the top 60. RELATED: Leaderboard | Putting machine McCarthy offers tips Significance? The top 60 on May 23, after the PGA Championship, will get into the U.S. Open at The Country Club in Bradley’s beloved Boston. He is acutely aware of this. “I’m trying not to think about it, but you reminded me,” said Bradley (67, 8 under), who has been the class of the field at the wet, cold Wells Fargo Championship at TPC Potomac at Avenel Farm. “It’s on my mind. I know what’s at stake. “A lot of good things can come with a good round tomorrow.” The 35-year-old from Woodstock, Vermont, leads by two over Max Homa (71). Anirban Lahiri (70), seeking his first TOUR win, and James Hahn (72) are four back. “Attitude and patience,” Homa, who will be going for his fourth TOUR title overall and second of this season (Fortinet Championship), said of his keys this week. And good outerwear, too. “It’s pretty tough,” said Russell Henley (74, 4 over total). “You can’t feel your hands and your body’s not moving great, and the ball isn’t going anywhere. It was going 15 yards shorter for me. To shoot under par is really bringing your stuff today.” The temperature was 48 degrees late Saturday, but the rain made it feel colder. Only four players broke par. The field average of 3.662 over par was the highest relative to par since the final round of the 2020 Memorial Tournament presented by Workday (+3.959). Tyrrell Hatton (76, 2 over total) bogeyed seven of his last 10 holes and said he didn’t even play that bad. “Unfortunately, I shot myself out of the tournament,” he said. Added Austin Smotherman, “I just birdied three of my last five holes to shoot 73, and I feel like I played lights-out.” He shook his head and laughed. “I was even par other than a triple on 17. You’re just one swing away …” From calamity, he didn’t have to say. In conditions this hard, no lead is safe. Jason Day started the day with a three-shot cushion over Homa, but in 45 excruciating minutes squandered it all and then some, going bogey, triple-bogey, bogey on holes 3, 4 and 5. Day’s front-nine 41 brought almost everyone who made the cut back into it. “Unfortunately, I just didn’t have my stuff today,” he said after signing for a 79 (1 under total). Matt Fitzpatrick (71) is 3 under and five behind. Rory McIlroy (68) had the day’s second-best round and at 2 under is in a logjam at six back. “I know it’s probably not going to be as wet,” said McIlroy, the defending champion and three-time Wells Fargo winner. “It’s going to be quite cold. I don’t know what the wind’s going to be like. I can’t imagine tomorrow being any tougher than today was. You can’t really chase much around here because it’s a tough golf course, but like six shots is still a long way back.” Bradley had the best round for the second straight day; he shot 65 in similar weather Friday. His performance this week comes after he shot a 71 in a stiff, cold wind at THE PLAYERS Championship in March. It would have been a 69 absent a bizarre penalty after his ball blew across the green. Bad weather? Bradley’s coach, Darren May, and caddie, Scott Vail, look forward to it like a kid looks forward to Christmas. They remind Bradley he owns bad weather. “When the conditions get like this,” Bradley said, “I find a sense of calm because I’m sort of worried about other things, keeping my clubs dry and my bag dry. Sort of keeps me in the present.” The forecast for the final round Sunday calls for colder temps, but no rain. No doubt the course will again be a beast. “It feels like I’ve just gone 12 rounds in a pro boxing match,” Lahiri said. “You’re fighting everything – you’re fighting your body, the elements, the water, the cold, the conditions. “Yeah, it’s tough work and you just have to grit your teeth and kind of grind it out.”

POTOMAC, Md. — Keegan Bradley did nothing special on the only easy scoring day this week at the Wells Fargo Championship, opening with an even-par 70 that left him around the cut line. RELATED: Leaderboard Since the conditions got tougher, Bradley has been the best player at TPC Potomac at Avenel Farm. Bradley shot the lowest score for the second straight day Saturday, a 3-under 67 that gave him a three-day total of 8-under 202 and a two-shot lead over Max Homa in Open Championship like weather on a U.S. Open-style course. About 2 inches of rain has fallen since Friday morning, yet the low-lying course near the Potomac River has held up well enough to avoid any delays in play. Temperatures dropped into the low 40s Fahrenheit on Saturday. “It felt like a Patriots playoff game out there in December,” said Bradley, who grew up in New England. “It was fun, but I’m glad to be done.” Bradley was one of four players to shoot in the 60s. The scoring average was 73.7, the highest relative to par on the PGA TOUR since the final round of the 2020 U.S. Open at Winged Foot. Although he has only one win in the past nine years, the 35-year-old Bradley has been solid recently, with top-10 finishes in three of his last five events, including fifth at THE PLAYERS Championship during another week of bad weather. The eye-popping number for a player whose putter has held him back: Bradley ranks second in the field this week in putting by the PGA TOUR’s “strokes gained” metric. His key makes on Saturday: 14 feet for birdie on the par-3 ninth hole, 21 feet for birdie on the tough par-4 11th, 9 feet for birdie on the 16th and, finally, 8 feet to save par after going bunker-to-bunker on the closing hole. “Today and yesterday were just really good ball-striking and really good putting. It’s rare that we match those up and I’ve matched that up these last two days,” Bradley said. “If I can just keep that going a little bit, I’ll like my chances.” A win by Bradley would move him into the top 60 in the world, making him exempt for the U.S. Open at The Country Club in Brookline, Massachusetts. “It’s on my mind,” he said. “I know what’s at stake.” Jason Day’s retooled swing couldn’t hold up for a third straight day. The leader after 18 and 36 holes, Day began struggling with his driver before it spilled over to the rest of the bag. He found the same pond on consecutive holes — a driver that never crossed dry land on the par-4 fourth, leading to triple bogey, and a 3-wood that hooked violently on the fifth. Day appeared to lose his grip on the club when he hit another hook into a water hazard with his second shot on the par-5 10th, even though he had half a dozen gloves hanging from the ribs of his umbrella. He shot 79 to fall seven shots off the lead. Homa shot a steady 71 while playing partners Day and Luke List struggled, finding fairways and hitting conservative approach shots for routine pars. He went from trailing Day by two to leading by two in a span of two holes that he played in even par. But consecutive bogeys on the back nine allowed Bradley to pass him. The day’s second-best score belonged to Rory McIlroy, who made the cut on the number and played on the opposite side of the course from the leaders. The highest-ranked player in the field at No. 7, McIlroy bogeyed his first two holes, made four birdies before the turn and closed with nine straight pars for a 68 that moved him into a tie for sixth at 2 under. “I think when you see conditions like this, you have to have a pretty upbeat attitude towards it and for me it was just grateful to be here,” McIlroy said. Anirban Lahiri shot 70 and was four shots back alongside James Hahn (72), a former champion of this event at its regular home, Quail Hollow, which is taking this year off because it’s hosting the Presidents Cup in September. Matt Fitzpatrick was 3 under after a 71. “It feels like I’ve just gone 12 rounds in a pro boxing match,” Lahiri said. “You’re fighting everything. You’re fighting your body, the elements, the water, the cold, the conditions. Yeah, it’s tough work and you just have to grit your teeth and kind of grind it out.”
