Bridgeman Opens Six-Shot 54-Hole Lead at Genesis Invitational

He matched the event’s 54-hole scoring mark at 19 under in a bid for his first PGA Tour victory.

Overview

  • Jacob Bridgeman’s third-round 64 at Riviera included an eagle at the par-5 11th and moved him to 19 under, six clear of the field heading into Sunday.
  • Rory McIlroy sits second at 13 under after a two-under 69, citing increasingly slick greens that limited scoring chances late in the round.
  • Aldrich Potgieter is third at 12 under after a 65, with Xander Schauffele and Aaron Rai tied at 11 under; Marco Penge slid to nine under with a 74.
  • World No. 1 Scottie Scheffler preserved his PGA Tour-leading cuts-made streak at 68 by making the cut on the number, then carded a 66 in Round 3 to reach five under.
  • Play and scoring were shaped by a rain-delayed opening day and Riviera’s setup changes, including a lengthened par-3 fourth and soft yet fast greens, in this signature event that features a 36-hole cut.
