Wells Fargo Championship | Final

POTOMAC, Maryland - Keegan Bradley carded the field’s lowest score for the second consecutive round (65/R2, 67/R3) and takes a two-stroke lead entering the final round. A four-time PGA Tour winner, Bradley is 0-for-3 with the 54-hole lead/co-lead on Tour to date.

Defending champion and three-time Wells Fargo Championship winner Rory McIlroy moved from T-50 to T-6 following a 2-under (68), one of four under-par scores in the third round. Meanwhile, Rockville, Maryland native Denny McCarthy (-3) enters the final round T-6.

Jason Day (T-13/-1) - the 18 and 36 hole leader - recorded a third-round (79), the highest third-round score by a 36-hole leader/coleader on Tour since Patrick Rodgers at the 2021 Wells Fargo Championship and Day’s second third-round score of 79 when holding the 36-hole lead/co-lead (2016 RBC Heritage).

Field average of 3.662-over is the highest in any round on TOUR since the final round of the 2020 U.S. Open

The final-round tee times: 8 a.m. – 1:35 p.m. ET (twosomes off No. 1)
