Keegan Bradley carded eight birdies and six bogeys in the third round of the BMW Championship. It was enough to help him regain the lead he held after the first round.

Yesterday's leader, Adam Scott, had a very different third round compared to his second at the BMW Championship. The Australian carded three birdies, three bogeys, and a double bogey to drop back into second place.

Ludvig Aberg also failed to match his Friday performance. The Swede carded an eagle, four birdies, three bogeys, and a double bogey in the third round of the BMW Championship.

The world no. 1 Scottie Scheffler has been unhappy with his performance throughout the tournament. On Saturday, he had two birdies and four bogeys and fell six places to T35.

The other big favorite Xander Schauffele remains in contention. Schauffele shot a 67 in his third round at the second event of the FedEx Cup playoffs and is tied for 5th place, five shots off the lead.

The best score of the third round (6-under 66) was carded by Max Greyserman. His score moved him up 15 places to T33.
