Bradley plays last 4 holes in 6 under in Canadian Open
Keegan Bradley played the last four holes in 6 under, making two of his three eagles Friday, to pull within a shot of the lead in the RBC Canadian Open.
Playing alongside leader Kevin Tway at Glen Abbey, Bradley closed birdie-eagle-birdie-eagle for a 9-under 63. He also eagled the par-5 second hole.
“That was wild,” Bradley said. “It turned kind of an average day out here into something really special. There’s not many courses you can do that on like you can out here. That’s what makes it such a great event.”
Tway birdied the final hole for a 65 to get to 13 under. He’s trying to win for the first time on the PGA Tour in the event his father won 15 years ago at Hamilton for his last victory.
Bradley holed putts of 10 feet on the par-3 15th, 20 feet on the par-5 16th, 27 feet on the par-4 17th and 20 feet on the par-5 18th – after hitting an approach from 159 yards.
He made a 7-footer on No. 2 for the first eagle.
The 32-year-old American won the 2011 PGA Championship and has three PGA Tour victories, the last in the 2012 World Golf Championships-Bridgestone Invitational.
Whee Kim had a 65 to match Bradley at 12 under.
Washington native Steve Wheatcroft shot a 4 under 68 and is eight under through two rounds. He is tied for 18th place.
Top-ranked Dustin Johnson (66) followed at 10 under.
Sergio Garcia, Bubba Watson and Brooks Koepka missed the cut.
