Jacob Bridgeman Seizes 6-Shot Lead at Genesis Invitational With Third-Round 64

At 19 under, the 26-year-old has Riviera’s 72-hole scoring record in sight.

Overview

  • Bridgeman fired a 7-under 64 on Saturday to reach 19-under 194, putting him in position to pursue his first PGA Tour title.
  • A birdie–eagle–birdie surge on the back nine widened his advantage to six strokes as Rory McIlroy posted a 69 to sit second.
  • Penge and Bridgeman had shared the 36-hole lead at 12 under after matching 64s on Friday, with McIlroy one shot behind.
  • World No. 1 Scottie Scheffler narrowly made the cut by holing a seven-foot par putt on the 18th after earlier struggles left him five over during play.
  • Heavy rain and strong wind caused a three-hour suspension early in the event, but calmer weather is expected for Sunday’s finish.
