US EditionGenesis Invitational: Jacob Bridgeman ties 54-hole scoring record, leads by 6 at Riviera
Jacob Bridgeman shot 7-under 64 in round three to tie the 54-hole scoring record at 19-under 194, leading by six shots at the Genesis Invitational.
- Posting the day's low score, Jacob Bridgeman shot a 7-under 64 at Riviera, leading by six shots with 18 holes remaining.
- Riviera's greens turned fast and bumpy late, forcing players like Xander Schauffele to miss four short putts on the severe poa annua greens, unlike Jacob Bridgeman's steady play.
- Executing seven birdies and an eagle, Bridgeman hit his 7-wood from 265 yards inches from the cup on the par-5 11th at Riviera, underpinning his low round.
- Now he stands 18 holes from his first PGA Tour victory and the $4-million winner's check, with a chance to challenge long-standing scoring records Sunday.
- After recent close calls, Bridgeman has gained valuable experience from twice leading last week at the AT&T Pebble Beach Pro Am and his consistent form on the West Coast Swing.
