Bradley notched birdies on 4 of the primary seven holes and stayed in competition. He’ll look to repeat that sort of development.
“Going to have to go out and shoot a low score,” Bradley mentioned. “But you can do it around here. Just hit the ball in the fairway, take care of the par-5s and you can do it.”
Scheffler, enjoying on his twenty ninth birthday, plummeted to 7 beneath and in a tie for eighth place with a 72, aided by a birdie on the final gap.
Thomas had the same, albeit belated, decline on his approach to 73, coming undone by a quadruple-bogey 9 on the thirteenth gap. That meltdown started with a tee shot out of bounds and included three further photographs within the tough earlier than arriving on the inexperienced.
Harris English , Wyndham Clark and Brian Harman are tied for fifth place at 8 beneath.

Scott, a longtime professional golfer, tied his lowest rating in a PGA Tour spherical.
“I would rather leave today with the confidence shooting 62 than kind of mailing it in and maybe shooting 70 or 72 and not really getting anything out of it,” Scott mentioned. “I’m out here for a reason, so I’ll try and get the most out of it if I can.”
